That's always happening around here. But, not so much because the horse knows who we are planning to ride, but that often we will simply select the "first available." I always take it as a sign that the one who is volunteering is the one who's really in a mood to get out and do something, so why not make it easy on all of us? The funny thing is that all of the horses get ridden too. I think horses are often like humans - anything they do too much or too often gets boring to them. All of my horses seem to like to go on the trail, but when I ride one horse out every day for many days in a row, I'll see that horse get an "oh no, not that again" look. But, with a few days off, or by interspersing ring riding with trail riding, they seem to keep their interest. Karen Thomas, NC
