I tend to increase the volume of my "singing" where there is a chance of
running into bears on the trail. One of my favourites is the Irish ballad
"Danny Boy". Those that like the song soon learn to hate it when riding
with me.

On the serious side, there were some great ideas for motivating horses
(aside from the singing). But I'm not sure if I got the definitive answer:
YES or NO.
Did those that offered the ideas once have a horse that was unmotivated
that did a 180 and became a wonderfully motivated endurance horse (even at
that dreaded 25/30 mi point) after "treatment"?  Also, if you stop singing,
do they stop running?
