The Incredible Disappearing Horse

My disappearing horseOkay, I admit it. I struggled with certain subjects in school, such as math and physics. But I’m pretty good at spatial relationships and figuring out what can fit where (I’m a mean packer – especially after 10 moves in 12 years – and I can fit more in a freezer than the average person can). But this one stumps me. Take a 16.2-hand, 1200-pound horse and put him in a 12×12 stall with a bucket of feed. Let him position himself in his favorite spot in the corner. Now stand off to the side of the window about a foot and say “Abracadabra!” (Okay, “abracadabra” is optional.) And ta-da! No horse! It’s amazing!

I don’t know why he has to hide to eat, but there you have it.

About Bill

Long-winded horse newbie, aspiring amateur barrel racer and cowboy mounted shooter. Bill has a "horse problem" and regularly wears a t-shirt that reminds him "I don't need another horse." A favorite quote is from John Wayne: "Courage is being scared but saddling up anyway," which pretty much describes how he feels every time he gets on a horse.

  1. LOL I know about houdini horses like this. We have a live webcam on our broodmare. Because of the logistics with lighting and all of that stuff, there is a very small blind spot in the stall and of course that’s where this mare would like to stand.

    Live webcam? Cool. Is it public? If so, where can we see?
