I'm always of the opinion that when a horse spooks there's a reason for it! a change in the colour or a bush or something being there that isn't normally there etc! but today I'm thinking maybe they do have a sixth sense!
So we were hacking down a long road, which we go down quite often, including on Saturday.
He was being a right dope on a rope, nothing was bothering him! a car was coming in the opposite direction and suddenly he started spooking (luckily not dramatically) at the hedge to his left! He sort of stops and felt a bit wild and didn't want to go past. I made him wait and waved the car past! then asked him to go forward, at this point I notice there was a load of red stuff in the road, on the opposite side, and the only think I could imagine it was, was blood! I'm not sure what has happened there, but it was defo that he didn't like, he sprung past it looking at it and snorting and was in a rush to get away. We actually had a lovely big trot up the hill after that.
Once we were away from that area, he went back to his normal relaxed self! was very odd!
Tell me the stories of your horses sixth senses?
