Why does this always seem to baffle people? I read it so many times here - their horse isn't scared of the roaring tractor, but has a fit at a Hedge Monster - and they're surprised...
I'm not, not really! The tractor is quite obviously there, and whilst noisy, it's fairly clear where it's going, and the horse is possibly quite used to similar vehicles not eating it. As a prey animal I'd be far more concerned by the potential monster half hidden in the shadows - after all, that's where my natural predators would be waiting for me - not barreling up the road towards me flashing their headlights
I admit that doesn't make it any easier when your horse is seeing invisible tigers, but surely it's not that surprising
