it is very touching, and a great risk for the women. I have been in two situations where a huge number of horses came flying up on us through water and the first time Jaspar pitched a little hissy fit and if it had been any other horse I believe he would have launched me. but something about the splashing and thundering hooves just makes a horse crazy i think. It takes a good horse to not panic and go with them. or like the last time, jaspar froze in the middle of the creek while horses just came in on us from every direction, falling, crashing into us, lunging around panicked, jaspar just cringed and wouldnt move til I realized we could be hurt so i started kicking and yelling and he very wisely chose to go downstream a little before heading for the opposite bank. Horses in a huge moving herd like that triggers instincts that are surprising. Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
