you could be more specific :) like I know if there's a coyote near if I go out at nite or in the sunset and all my horses are facing the same direction with ears up and forward.
I can tell if something is making them fret or unsettled because they try to tell me. The nite before gallant Boy died, he came to me and lowered his head and stood close. that was extraordinary because he was always standoffish and shut down. jaspar will stride off haughty and tail swishing and stop and stare at me over his shoulder when he wants to show me something. He's so smart, he will stand so that when I look at him I have to stare in the direction of what he wants me to see, a broken water trough, a dead squirrel, something that bothers him. Tivar will follow and stand, follow and stand, and just seem sad and quiet and I pet him and he will follow and stand and then I will look and go gosh he's so sweaty and hot, and go give him a rinse. Stonewall will actually take off cowkicking and bucking if he wants something and I cant figure it out, like he's frustrated. under saddle, I know the ones I ride so well any time they do something the least weird I know something is wrong and I try to figure it out because under saddle thats when they can be really wrecked with a sore back or something.
