RE: [RC] Don't forget touching noses - Katrina MosshammerI couldn't agree more. I was
at a ride this fall and while I was standing IN the pulse area with a p/r person
taking her pulse the lady walks right up with her horse in my mare's face and
asks the p/r person if she can get a courtesy check WHILE he is taking my
mare's pulse. My mare behaved and did not do anything but it did cause her heart
rate to go up and she did not meet criteria. I was so mad. The lady then walked
off a ways and the guy went to check her horse so I asked the other p/r person
for a recheck and now as soon as the horse was out of her face she was below
criteria again. Then while we were waiting in line for the vet this same lady
was standing in line behind me and she let her horse sniff and touch my mare's
flank not once but twice and was totally clueless about it. I could tell that my
mare's patience had reached its limit so I turned her to where she only had her
head in the line and I was between her and my gelding, who was in line in front
of us, and the other horse. I was very mad and this lady never paid any
attention to her horse.
