 [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.
