I did that one time to Rusty. I'd left him tied to the tree after a ride to cool off. About 5 hours later I went outside to leave in the truck and there he stood still saddled. Didn't hurt him, but I felt bad:)

Well, It only went that long because she's good. If I'd have left Bay in there, he'd have called and run laps as soon as the girls went out of sight. And the pony would have kicked the gate. Apparently Cyn just stood there.
