Horse Scenting Positions.
Of course it is easier to grasp when you see it in person but
I will try to write a picture. First scent changes the way it travels according
to different environmental conditions, it can travel a range from very high to
right on the ground. I have seen my scenting horses scent right on the ground
like a dog but I have also seen them scent with their noses high in the air like
a whitetail buck scenting a hunter. This is a scenting position that even
a large dog would have trouble reaching but it must be important or else the
bucks would not use it. But the most often used position seems to be kind
of a snaked out neck fashion that can be best described as a
cross between a herd stallion movement and a western pleasure
horse. At least this is their starting place along with
ear and neck side motions. When the rider is tuned in there is also a
certain feeling and change in speed that goes along with it.
Than just to make it interesting the horse will change their
positions and movement in different stages of the search. The different
stages are searching, first picking up the scent, following scent
drift, nearing scent source and loosing the scent.
