Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] wildlife encounters - Zephyr Arabians

riders and wildlife encounters

Hmmmm.... was riding on logging roads behind my
house and was thinking about elk, don't know why,
I'd never seen any while riding.  Not 15 min. later,
my gelding stood stock still, and looked back along
the road the way we'd come.  15 elk stood up out of
the clear-cut brush and alders and trotted off past
us.  My guy held his breath and I could feel his
heart pound on my legs.  They were all cows and
older calves, but what a beautiful sight!  Can they
move through the brush or what!?

My first ride off the property with my stallion after
moving up here to the PNW we startled a herd of elk. 
My stallion is pretty durn green and you can bet MY
heart rate went up when the elk went crashing past us.
The stallion, on the other hand, just stood there
with his ears up and watched them go... Of course, it
wasn't until they'd disappeared that I remembered the
camera in my saddlebag.
