Does your horse come when you call him/her?

Question

I was just curious how many people can call their horses' name ,when they are out in the paddock, and they will come to you?
My horse does this, just wondering if a lot of them do this?

Answer 1

Depends how good the grass is! Most of mine will come to call, unless it is the height of spring and the grass is particularly tasty :) My daughter's pony only comes when she calls him, and totally ignores me.

Answer 2

My horse comes to me if she is hungry or really wants to see me. Yet, she is on 11 acres with creeks and paddocks and so, she is pretty busy. She has tons of companions out in the field and I see her all the time and so she does not miss me much! She does not come running usually, but ocasionally she will. She gets a lot of exercise, so she is not bored! LOL!

Answer 3

Yes my horses come when called also. I have a stallion that he can be on the other side of the pasture and you honk the horn or call him if close enough to hear and he comes on the run, He is a black Arabian can you image the site. All my horses come also they are really fun and I love them a lot

Answer 4

My cows come when I call them."Come onnnnn,girls!"
Nothing like a good cow call.
Honestly,the horses I've known/worked with/leased/ridden,only a few come in when called if they know it's time to work.They'll come right in at night for dinner and bed,but if someone calls them in the middle of the day for a ride,they have all mysteriously disappeared in the 7-8 acre pasture.Smart animals ;)

Answer 5

My TB usuaully will come when called, or at least only make me walk half way. Where as my ttrail horse(sucha playful mind) When he hears me call will head in the oppiste direction at a gallop most of the time, then stop and stare at me like, are we gonna play tag?

Answer 6

My horse will once I get half way out. Unless I have carrots, then he comes a running. It makes me sad he wont come to the gate like everyone else is saying. O well, it'll take time.

Answer 7

Prissy hears me coming out and usually is calling my name before I am calling hers. There is always somethingfor her to look forward to when I am coming. She may get a good grooming, a few treats, a nice ride or a long relaxing massage. Whatever the case may be she knows she is getting the attention she deserves and I get my therapy by being in her presence loving me for who I am and what I do for her and never complaining about it. :-)

Answer 8

If it's dinner time, he runs.

If he knows I don't have food but feels like being social, he waddles.

Answer 9

I have 3 . They all come to their names and they also come to a generic Here Boys". We've started training them to come to the sound of the van honking at them to save from yelling since I got a bad cold and was losing my voice. They are really very social

Answer 10

Yep i call my horse all the time and he comes running. He is so excited to be with people. It is in his nature to come to me. we also have a special bond although anyone could call him and he would come.

Happy new year!
