I have been reading everyone's comments and figured I'd throw in my $.02!
I've had mares and geldings and it seems to me that some just WANT to go
home more than others. We have 4 geldings now and some of them are amazing
at knowing their way home! But, these are the horses that always WANT to
go home! Our other 2 love to be out and don't WANT to go back (until
they're good and exhausted!). Then they find their way back just fine.
Personality might have something to do with this "homing" thing?
