Interestingly, the Forest Service measured some of my trails by paying 
out thin string and measuring the string as it rolled out.  They just 
left it hanging on the bushes, to biodegrade.  I discovered this one 
night as I was hanging glowsticks for a moonlight ride.  Kahlil was 
normally kept in a hot-wire paddock at rides.  He hit the string about 
chest-high in the dark.  I never knew a horse could throw it into 
reverse so fast -- and yes, I went over his head.
