Fw: Re: [RC] TV Program about Endurance riders and wildlife encounters - Renie M burnett


Riding down a little path through the forest near Butte Meadows,
California and heard something climbing up a tree.  My horse and I 
stopped and looked up to see a small bear cub peering down at us; as I
slowly realized what it was, my thoughts  went "Baby bear" and, looking
at the downed cedar log, saw Mama bear and two more cubs and rapidly the
thoughts went "Oh, s**t, MAMA BEAR!!" We did a perfect rollback and
headed back up the path at a gallop and didn't look back.   However, the
most unusual "wildlife" sighting I ever had was when crossing a creek one
hot day, my horse jumped and spun and I got quite a look at a totally
naked, good looking young man standing in the creek about 12 feet away. 
We exchanged greetings and I rode away with a very red face.  And the
most awe-inspiring sight was the Golden Eagle flying alongside my horse
and I as we galloped up our favorite hill; my horse rolled his eyes at it
and it stayed with us until we reached the top.  Maybe it had a nest
nearby...Renie #1673
