We don't. The horse can see behind itself (cos its got eyes in the side of its head). he horse sees you, twitches and the rider becomes aware. T |

Re: approaching horses
I should of said --- "people (including those not on a horse)". Sorry.
The Open University some years ago did an experiment to see if people could tell if someone who was behind them was looking at them. It was a very simple experiment that could be repeated anywhere. Conventional wisdom would expect about a 50/50 correctness. The outcome was that people were correct......60% of the time! Sean. |
