While herding cattle, we had a drone flying with us, videoing for promoting
the ranch. None of the horses got very upset, even though none had ever
experienced anything off of the ranch. My gelding trotted a little fast at
times. The drone got right over our heads and also would follow about 15
yards behind each of us.
