It was with a super quiet mare I was leasing. In the summer I would give her a post workout bath and then sit on her bareback in a halter on the sunny lawn until she dried off, just watching lessons and relaxing. One day when I was doing this she just randomly took off sideways in terror. What freaked her out?

But ho...Aw....it's kind of cute, actually. *S*<br /><br />But horses do certainly notice even small changes in an environment. Just goes to show how unobservant we often are in our worlds. Challenge a person to tell you "What's there now that wasn't there before?" and he would likely have no idea. But ask Harv? He'd know in a second.
