I let my horse decide whether they want to keep going or whether they're happiest turning their backs to it and waiting it out. The only thunder/lightning has luckily been within a quick ride of home. I treat it the same as normal spooky stuff - keep their attention focused on you and keep them busy with more interesting things:)Most horses that live outside are ok with a bit of crazy weather, I've always found my more inexperienced or reactive ones will take a cue from their older, steadier buddies and not get too worked up. I'm sure you'll have nice weather for your trip though! :)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773294397639465084.post-16167212354630733802014-06-25T18:38:16.101-04:002014-06-25T18:38:16.101-04:00Dani's smart staying in her shelter in the nas...Dani's smart staying in her shelter in the nasty weather.<br />Our horses are pretty good, and our little dog isn't scared of thunder, but our old cat hides under the bed.
