Paddi, I think that ability to find the trail back home is largely a
mare thing. My geldings don't seem to be quite as capable of aways
finding the way home as my mares. If I'm not sure of the way, I can
always throw away the reins and my mares will zoom down the trail, never
missing the turns toward home, even if they've only been on the trail
once. Anybody else have this feeling about mares?
