I forgot one wild experience. It was just a normal thunder storm. I had my horse up on the hill at a neighbors barn. I always took her in the barn before a storm. Got up on the hill before the storm hit & she insisted on staying at the far end of her large turnout area & refused to come....standing under a power pole with a transformer on it. Rain started coming harder & lightning flashing all around. She still refused to come. I walked down to the end where she was (completely drenched). She still didn't want to come in & kept moving away.....UNTIL lightning hit the ground about 500ft away with a huge cracking sound. Then she came & we ran the whole way into the barn. I can handle being out in rain but when lightning strikes that close.....no thank you. We were all safe & got dried off but that was too close of a call with lightning for me
