I obviously made too much noise as the horse (which had been laid down in the stable) suddenly stuck its head out somewhat bleary eyed….which matched my surprise and iffy focus.

Any noise is too much noise for a horse - as prey animals they have very acute hearing, did you know that they use their bodies as an amplifier - bit like a radar dish!

Lol - you would need your 800mm plus 1.4 teleconverter from the other side of the yard to not be heard!

It’s strange really, horses still considering themselves prey. You would have thought the absence of predators in the UK for centuries might have bred out a bit of that nervousness? Mind you, having seen my wife wolf down a T-bone steak after a hike in the Julian Alps a few years back, I could imagine a horse being nervous in her presence. Even I slept with one eye open that night.
