 athletically backwards,
 downhill on the narrow track.  Hard to know what
 picture he saw.

I always wonder what the heck they see.  The guy that
was stretching looked like a monster I guess.

Good boy Dagur!  I have a friend who broke her back in two places over a
mountain bike incident.  Of course, the riders were pedaling, not resting,
but they're scarey creatures no matter what.

yes its very odd sometimes what spooks them.  But like that autistic
woman who wrote a book recently Temple Grand something, she says
horses see in pictures.  anyway.  Jaspar, as dead broke as a horse
gets, once started blowing and snorting and dancing backwards when a
man came around the corner on a trail wearing a bright red coat, plaid
shorts, knee high socks, a red wool beret, and carrying a huge walking
staff.  I guess Jaspar thought he was either a terrible fashion
statement or he was gonna hit him with that big stick!

What gets me tho is when your horse starts freaking out and you tell
people waitwaitwait STOP and they go what?? and just keep coming on
their bicycle, whatever.  Do they see no relation in their appearance
and the horse freaking?  Same with cars.  So many times I have held up
my hand to a car speeding toward us and they dont even slow!  that
just amazes me.  You can always tell people who have been around
horses.  They will slow and practically stop and wait quietly for you
to go by :)

We mer a counter culture couple (in Oregon hippies are not extant) hiking up
a trail, pulling a large green garden cart filled with all their camping
gear.  The girl had on boots, a pretty long red print skirt, a colorful
ethnic (Icelandic??) sweater and a beret, long braid down her back.  She was
on one side of the narrow trail.  The guy and the wagon were on the other.
Hunter not only would not go forward, he ran very athletically backwards,
downhill on the narrow track.  Hard to know what picture he saw.

Everytime I put my hand up for a car to slow they just
wave back.  They must think I am just friendly.  I
better use the one finger solute next time.  LOl. Yes
you sure do know who has horses and who doesn't.
