@Justin Xu,
My horse has been trying to defeat her dragon for a few days. There's a swale in the field where water collects and runs off down the coulee. It's froze up now and pretty slick.
She wouldn't cross it even though the other horses did regularly, to come in for water. She would just look at it and walk back and forth along its length, hopin got find a spot where she could cross. I walked out with some carrots, fed her a couple and tried to get her to follow me across the "crick". No go!
Today, I put out a new bale which brought the other horses a runnin'. Dolly still wouldn't cross so I took out an armful of fresh hay, let her have a couple of chomps, then walked across the ice, dropping a bit as I went. With her dragon momentarily forgotten, she walked onto the ice, and even stopped to eat some of the hay that was on the ice.
She quickly discovered that it was only a paper dragon.
