At our yard we back onto another yard, horses can’t see each other as the double hedgerow between yards screens from both sides, Belle is as far away from joining fence as it’s possible for her to be just because of the layout of the land, so up until today she’s never been interested in anything the other side of our yard despite horses often calling, today Belle was totally convinced a long lost friend was over there and both of them were calling back and forth and she was getting really quite stressed that she couldn’t get to whoever the other horse is.
She even ignored a treat when I put her back out after a rather eventful hack and galloped off down the field shouting all the way to get as close as she could to the joining boundary.
I am convinced that whoever the horse is she knows it very well and I’m half worrying now that she’ll be through the hedge by the time I go up later! I’ve never seen her behave like this before in the nine years I’ve had her and I’ve only ever heard her call like that to me, usually when I’m late or if I’ve been on holiday Anyone else’s behave like this? She’s not remotely interested in her yard buddies, they and me may as well not have been there this morning.
