I find this interesting. Just from a few observations here over the years I've got the feeling that horses are almost physic in their response to things. What I have found strange is that usually who we are going to work with is usually waiting for us....I'll go into the tack shed with a plan in mind, and when I come out the horse in question is there... I think I'm going to actively pay attention to this, and test it a bit.. Wanda
