I know that USC's mascot Traveler (pretty white horse) is actually 'potty trained' and only goes to the bathroom when he's instructed to. I guess they don't want him doing his business right outside the teams' locker rooms, but it kind of makes me laugh that they actually went through the training. So, it is possibly to train a horse to not go, but he also has a fairly large dedicate crew that focuses most of their attention on him, so I don't think that would be a very practical solution for DL.

The "liquid" smelled just like horse urine. I know the smell because I have horses!

Originally Posted By MomluvsDisney MM..maybe they are shy about public number one. I can see the horses getting back to the barn and one turns to the other and says "That was close, I didn't think I was going to make it back to the stables!" MMM...I should avoid topics like this
