March 8:

IS YOUR HORSE A  HIDER OR A SEEKER?

Remember the game hide and seek?  Horses play this game too.  Since Horses Never Lie, it is interesting to see what they do, if they are loose in their pasture, or if they are loose in your yard with no fences.  My wife lets her two mares loose on the obstacle course or the driveway when the front gates are closed and oddly, when she is ready to go get them they seem know and come find her.  These horses are Seekers...they are always watching for her and seek to find her when they see she is looking for them.  We have other horses who were given to us, and most of them are Hiders.  We don't let them loose to graze around the property...and even when in a pasture they don't seek the humans, in fact, one grey mare still hides.  People did this to them.  People turned curiosity into fear.  And once this happens it is very hard to change a horse's mind.
