Re: [RC] snakes on trail vs turkeys - Born Country

No, I don't know her.  I live in the panhandle, near
Tallahassee.  Where does she live?  Maybe we can get
together for some conditioning rides.

Esther, I have a friend Karen Gehringer who lives in
Florida.  Do you know
her?  She is such a neat person.  Got to know her
when her horse got EPM and
since I went thru it with my Bay horse, I emailed
her alot.  Glad to say her
mare did make it and has been back on trail.  Jeanie

Yep, turkeys are bad enough...but how about emus?
Near here is a great riding place called St. Marks
Wildlife Refuge where we ride along dikes, with
alligators on either side that no longer startle

our

horses when they ker-splash into the water.  There

are

also deer, turkeys, otters, snakes and raccoons,

just

to name a few of the critters we've run up on.
Apparently, someone got the brilliant notion of
turning their unwanted emus loose in the refuge!
Haven't encountered one yet, but I'm constantly on

the

look-out for that thundering herd to bear down on

my

poor unsuspecting horse any day.

Try mom turkeys with a bunch of little ones. 

Now

there is a good spook bound to happen.  Had one

of

my juniors ride right over mom turkey and little
ones.  Mom took off, Becky fell off but missed

the

little ones.  Prince ran away but not far.  Ever

top

a hill and startle a bunch of turkeys?  I swear

the

saddle horn goosed me when my horse stopped dead

in

his tracks.  Also have chased turkeys down trail
much to my horse's discomfort!  Too funny. 

Would

rather run across turkeys on trail than a bear.
Life is quite interesting when booking down

trail.

It is a matter of never quite relaxing and

always be

ready tor the 'big gotcha'!!  Jeanie
