It was a Hydro outage, and there were rolling black-outs in the area. No one was riding in the arena at the time, but one gal who boards there told me it had happened to her before. Her OTT Thoroughbred, who can definitely be a handful, stopped dead in the pitch dark. He stood quietly while she dismounted and calmly followed her while she felt her way along the wall to the arena door. <br /><br />The stables horses were completely calm when I was there during the outage. I think horses are used to the dark, and provided there are no jingle dogs, they are probably quite happy to be calm if you're calm. Moon told you he wasn't going to get upset, so you were calm. This girl saw that her horse was relaxed, so she stayed calm. I am surprised the horses stabled in W's barn were fretting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
