Re: [RC] Tying to Trailer = vanished? - Sisu West Ranch
"....so why would a horse think his buddy had
disappeared just because he was 5 feet away on the other side of a lousy
trailer?..."
The fate of things you can no longer see is not
trivial. It is the basis of the game of "peek-a-boo". A very small
child can not quite comprehend that Mom or Dad is still there even though they
have covered their face, or gone below the crib, thus the surprise, delight and
laughter when mom or dad suddenly reappears.
Is it no wonder that some horses have anxiety
attacks when their buddy disappears? Many, as posts have said, eventually
learn this, but some don't.
