I wonder if anyone has toyed with the idea of maybe Laying or Backing a troublesome nervous horse as a system? A horse that's got in it's mind, that it'd prefer to be somewhere else, than in a barrier about to race? Maybe the opposite for relaxed sleepy horses? Dunno?

Never thought about it regarding gallops but I pay attention to dogs that paw at the lids. Problem is so far I could not make up my mind if it's an advantage or not.
Possibly not because they could be drawing back when the lids open??
On the other hand they could be just showing either keenness or anxiety? ************ if I know? Any takers?
PS very strict verboten words here! I thought it was less than mild. |
