Yeah, the filly was so traumatized that she jumped right up and tried to get away! I personally cannot count the times that my dogs have laid on and rolled on payment. Can't remember the times my man and I have laid on my concrete drive way working/helping with car's. Give the woman a break. She has got a really nice little filly that is truly laid back. Good for you!
wow, sorry ppl carried on so bout the pavement, I thought it was a great opp. to do exactly what you did, and look what an effect it had on her, besides folks, the filly was lying down before she got there, so CHILL!
not a good idea to do that on pavement. Yes, she seemed fine at the given moment, but not all moments are like that. Any horse could spook at any time and in any of environment, that would not be safe or smart. I would encourage you to do something like this in a controlled environment as meetthebocker said before.
Also, after this time she ended up becoming a favorite with kids at rodeos and horse shows because I could roll her over on her back. I would even have kids lay down with her when she did lay down and some kids when she did lay down, would try to roll her over themselves. They loved petting and scratching her belly and she would just act like a dog does when someone rubs and scratches their belly. You still can to this day roll her over on her back and it doesn't hurt her one bit.
Well, I know I have laid down on pavement many times to work on my vehicles and it did not traumatise me for life. It is not like I grabbed this filly by the legs and threw her on her back on the pavement. I just rolled her over to see if I could do it given how mellow she had been at a horse show the previous week and how mellow she had already been during the whole horse judging her dam was participating in. This was not in a busy parking lot. It is where we park the trailers at the college.
horrible! unbelievable! why on earth would you do this to a foal on black top pavement no less... what are you thinking!!! oh clearly you are not or have no concern for the poor foal, I am in shock

I think it's awesome that you got her to do that, but I may have chosen a much softer surface in which to desensitize a horse on... ;)

ummm....have any of you ever laid down on pavement before? It's not that bad....
While I would have probably done something like this at home, I don't think the foal was traumatized from it.

De-spooking and putting a filly on her back in a parking lot?
Is that really wise?
I'm all for de-spooking, not so much turning a horse over, but even so both should be done in a safe, controlled environment in my honest opinion.

Ouch! Be careful working on pavement like that.
