This prompted Panda to take matters into his own hooves.<\/p>\n<p>He decided to devise a plan to escape and return to the dementia unit.<br \/>\nHorses, known for their excellent memory, often remember experiences that elicit strong emotions. For Panda, the memory of his visit to the dementia unit was one such experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHorses learn through a system of repetition, reward, and correction. They tend to repeat behavior that brings a favorable response and avoid behavior that evokes a response from the rider or handler,\u201d The Vet Expert reported.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.animalchannel.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/21090553\/pandahorse2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE:TIKTOK &#8211; @MAIJA.VANCE<\/p>\n<p>Panda\u2019s desire to revisit the dementia unit is an example of this learning mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn\u2019t Panda\u2019s first attempt to return to the dementia unit.<\/p>\n<p>According to Maija, Panda had previously escaped to visit his \u201cfriends\u201d at the unit and enjoy some carrots.<\/p>\n<p>It was joked that while Panda might have forgotten some of his training, he certainly hadn\u2019t forgotten the carrots.<\/p>\n<p>On one occasion, Maija found Panda in the parking lot of a building.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s unclear whether this was the dementia unit they had visited or just a random location where Maija managed to catch up with him.<\/p>\n<p>Panda seemed torn between continuing his journey or returning with Maija. However, his training prevailed, and he decided to return with Maija.<\/p>\n<p>The video of Panda\u2019s adventure was well-received by viewers who found the story unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.animalchannel.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/21090558\/pandahorse4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE:TIKTOK &#8211; @MAIJA.VANCE<\/p>\n<p>Some speculated that Panda might have returned because the dementia patients had forgotten his visit.<\/p>\n<p>Others suggested that Panda might be aspiring to become a therapy horse, starting with the dementia unit.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the joy of the elderly patients riding Panda!<br \/>\nIn a delightful turn of events, Panda and Maija were featured on New Zealand\u2019s Prime News.<\/p>\n<p>The news crew decided to film them at the dementia unit, allowing Panda to relive his cherished memories. And guess what? Panda was treated to carrots again, much to his delight!<\/p>\n<p>Panda\u2019s escapade certainly brightened his day.<br \/>\nWhen asked if Panda had jumped out to visit his friends, Maija clarified that Panda had sneakily slipped out of the gate.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed\/v2\/7145307832995302658?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fanimalchannel.co%2Fhorse-breaks-out-stall-snacks%2F%3Futm_source%3Dpage%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook%26utm_campaign%3D16b2a2e0-7ff0-4cd0-a9d2-50b0a92e721a%26utm_content%3Danimals%26fbclid%3DIwAR28S_Xus9oNqLfllmZ1kalwevEtfL_B2Fn1RR31G_WrTt5nQlDdJzhh4gQ\" name=\"__tt_embed__v63189926984340410\" sandbox=\"allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-6=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This clever horse knew exactly what he was doing.
