They have since moved out of state, but Jackie could see ghosts in the hospital, and Bill was an ex-high school rodeo competitor and used to come over and ride my mother's 1st horse, Reno. Reno was the horse I thought was destined to either kill my mother or put her in a nursing home with a broken body! When he rode Reno and Reno would spook at nothing, Bill would say Reno was seeing spirits, because Bill could see them, too. Bill also did past life readings using his "spirit guide". He did both mother and me. Do I believe? Let's say I don't discount it!

Re: [IceHorses] O T Question
not really relevant maybe, but made me think of my friend bryan who believes horses can see ghosts and spirits. He has me convinced I'm afraid. He lives in a house his granpa lived in. His granpa was ninety and hit by a car as he walked to the mail box out front. Bryan breaks horses by riding them their first several times in a pasture area that has one corner just a few feet on the other side of a fence where bryans granpa died. He said no horses will go near that corner without a fight and he believes "the old man is standing there by the mail box and it makes the horses nervous". I always sorta laughed at that but since then I have ridden several horses in that field and not ONE of them would go near that corner and I am not a good enough horse person to make them. Even my Jaspar who will pretty much go anywhere is downright comical in that pasture, he will go all the way around and when he gets to the corner he will just veer, like he hopes I dont notice he wont go near the corner. The first time I rode fox and he reared with me and nearly flipped was because I was trying to get him to continue toward that corner. What can it be besides a ghost?? There is nothing different about that corner. That whole end of the pasture fronts the dirt road. it just baffles me. Janice-- yipie tie yie yo

one time in my yard a strong gust blew loose a flapping warped sheet of tin from behind the shed and none of my horses blinked. then later stonewall alomst threw himself down over a blue milk jug cap. Janice -- yipie tie yie yo

I think maybe because in the wild, wind means a storm is coming up and they should feel an urge to run out ahead of the storm maybe?? also the wind brings scents of animals and things we cannot see.

Re: [IceHorses] O T Question
Someone told me once that there are atmospheric changes that occur with wind and that person felt the horses were reacting to those changes in pressure. I have always thought it was more instinctive, a reaction to all the "stuff" blowing around. Oddly, of all the horses I've had, the reactive TWH Hunter is very little affected by wind. Nancy >

Merry Christmas to all! I'm seeking information from all of you experienced folks as to why horses are so frisky, nervous or just wildly explosive when it is windy? Even my nice sweet (normally calm) Icelandics are like trying to hold onto a kite on a windy day. Bernadette
