You may have noticed when a big rain storm starts pouring down , the horses are standing just outside their shelters but not underneath it . Or even out in the open far away from trees or shelter , we might laugh and shake our heads but there sound reasoning behind it .

Horses are prey animals , and when their fear response kicks in ,their first instinct is to RUN. The loud rain on tin roof , or the cracking swaying of the tree branches above can be terrifying.when they are confined to a stall or a barn their ability to run is taken away from them , causing them to feel more frightened or stressed. .confining these nervous horses , to these "scary " spaces and not allowing them to run away may create added stress that can increase the chances of colic during a storm.

Some horses are not as flightly , and really don't mind the loud noises overhead , but horses are heard animals and prefer to stick together . So in a group where a few horses like to stand out in the rain and tough it out , others may follow suit .

Just like people , every horse personality is so different , but understanding how they think and feel can prevent added stress that may turn into larger vet bills 💵
