MR>Back on topic-can you tell me why some horses are so spooky?? I went to
  >the Yolo County fair yesterday evening and number one I saw 2 horses
  >that they tied them up to the stall and they were enclosed in the
  >stalls I know they were about to use them for the rodeo-But it's hot!!
  >We've had temp's in the 110 degree area and they couldn't get any water
  >on top of it I noticed the stall's were infested with mice-instead of
  >the worms crawling in and out, It was the mice run in and out-Bad sense
  >of humor I know but I would think that would be spooky and unhealthy
  >for a horse to be, I know they are performing for a rodeo and that is

  >infestation, not just one mice.  Am I wrong about this possibly
  >spooking the horse?  What else could cause them to be so spooky?
Smokey spooks if he gets bored. Its in slow motion most of the time so
I have trouble staying on I'm laughing so hard. When he is really scared
he sinks about 6 inches under you and freezes.  To much water before a
hard performance can make a horse sick.  We almost lost one at the ranch
 due to it drinking a lot then working hard so if the horses weren't
tied for a long period of time before the performance I can kinda
understand that but not the part with the mice.  Mice carry so many
diseases.
