"They feel the camel and others animals pose a threat while exhibitors/members work and show their horses on the grounds. Can anyone help me out with some input from current/past experiences?" Hi Taffy, Yes, get a camel, so your horses become farmiliar with the sight/sound/smell of camels. more seriously, maybe you can ask the camel owner to facilitate introducing the saddle club horses to the camel. When I was a kid, one of the shows I went to had a ring right along a RR track. It was so loud, we had to stop the classes momentarily when a train went by, not to mention some horses spooked. Solution? bring your horse between shows and get him used to the train. It is not the fault of the camel owner that horses spook from unfamiliar things. Janet
