We have something similar around here (California) for the vineyards.  What 
is really amazing is that the horses do actually get used to the things and 
you would think after THAT they would literally be bomb proof.  Nuh-uh!  They 
still go wacky over the usual horse phobias (white rocks included).  My horse 
dumped me a couple of years ago (on pavement, of course) when three little 
kittens darted out from some shadows and underneath him.  Next thing I knew, 
I was sitting on my butt watching him trot off after the rest of the riders 
(during a competition OF COURSE).  Luckily, he came back and we finished the 
ride -- but how embarassing!

Sylvia & Harca (well, those kitties scared me!)
