And your lab never learned? Dogs are funny like that... you think that they would. My trainer's small dauchsaund got stompled (Not to be confused with trampled) once, and she's never been the same since. Now whenever she even sees a horse even look her way, she starts barking ferociously. She tried to befriend that alpha mare. It didn't work...
Our old Blue Heeler that Belle finally killed, had been kicked and knocked out cold 2 times, and had been kicked numerous times and not knocked out, but still went after the horses every time i went to feed or when ever anyone drove up our driveway, or when a horse laid down to roll. She never learned.
