[RC] [Guest] snakes on the trail - Ridecamp GuestOn Behalf Of
elf
Fellow ride campers,
what do you do when you see a snake on the trail? Living in the land of
rattlers here in southern California, I'm often confronted with this
sight. My daughter's horse stepped on one this week. No injuries,
just had to get my heart out of my throat. I know you have some
secret snake song (or something) to tame these serpents, I
hope.
I also wanted to
briefly share good news about my green Arab mare who now will cross any water
anytime, anywhere! Her latest crossing was a 30 foot river high in
the Sierras west of Mammoth. I am so proud of her, I could bust. She
has become a real trail horse and partner. I put a S hack on her
about a month ago and she loves it. She really takes good care of herself
now, drinks, eats, etc. I still have my fingers crossed that I will get to
do a real endurance ride this fall. Thanks to each of you for taking time
to share your knowledge.
