Ugh- o.k. my daughter who is a
reptile lover got very excited this a.m. when she realized that Virginia
might have more to offer in the reptile department than Ontario ( Canada) . (
I was asking her if she wants to come down with me in April for the No Frills
ride) she just got off the internet and happily informed me that there are
TWENTY kinds of snakes in Virginia ( though she assured me only 4 of them are
poisonous) here lies the problem, I am absolutely terrified of snakes, they
are in fact the only thing that really scare me.... as a matter of fact if you
asked me to list the top three best things about living in Canada number 1 or
2 would be the fact that we have almost no snake population, and no poisonous
little creatures, this is a huge selling point as far as I am concerned.
:-) So what I want to know is how
likely is it that we will see a snake in the ridecamp or on trail in Virginia?
I am hoping that I am overreacting and am being kinda like a tourist who
thinks as soon as they cross over the border they will see an igloo!? Anyway
please, please tell me I am being silly and that the chances of me seeing a
snake are as good as you finding an igloo? AND I bet my horse has never seen a snake !! She is pretty calm ( now
:-) ) but what is a horses general reaction to snakes? AND before you make fun
of me , I do know and can and have handled bears on trail, but snakes????
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!:-( Chrystal
P.S> Anyone who is going to be at the No
Frills Ride and actually likes snakes , would you email me? I know my daughter
is going to be all over the place looking for some and right after my fear of
actually seeing one is my second one that my daughter will find one and it
will be poisonous!:-( However I would love for her to find a nonpoisonous one
, it would make her year! ( as long as she finds it far, far away from me.
:-))
