Top ten things horses are afraid of? (list)

Kiraral · 06-14-2006, 05:34 PM

I'm pretty sure this is the right place for this first off, but if it's not, mods feel free to do whatever

Okay, I knwo, somewhere, there is a list of the top tne things horses are scared of (or something like that. It's written (kinda) from their point of view, and it's funny. One of the things is minis pulling carriages and the number one thing, I'm pretty sure, is children. I'm wondering if anyone has it, or a link to it. I can't find it via google. thanks so much!

I'm glad mine isn't scared of children, I would be in trouble...

My own experience with spooky horses has been:
traffic, loud noises, lead ropes, dogs, and of course a spray bottle...I still have to wipe on the fly spray

A horse I rode once thought mules were the wierdest things in the world. I don't think she could figure out what they were.
Calloway has issues with the birds in the bushes next to the arena. I don't think he realizes that the bushes aren't talking to him.
