Re: [RC] Yin and Yang - Carrie - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLFWhat Merri described was exactly the "dance" that takes place between my mare and my husband's horse. However, it's seemingly my mare who displays the biggest reaction to the changes. It's really quite hilarious sometimes, and can also be a little bit hairy too. Lol There are certain areas on our trail rides where she simply stops, as if to say to my husband's horse, "ok, it's your turn to be in front, there's something up there that eats horses." Her personality when in front, is completely different than when following. Yes, it IS interesting . . . Carrie We've seen the change in "ear pitch" from the second the behind horse comes up even with the front horse. When past the front horse, the behind horse now becomes responsible for the "herd" and the front horse, now behind, can relax because he is no longer responsible. I've watched this over and over for decades. Interesting....
