I heard this story years ago so feel free to correct my memory. A guy 
went for a short ride on his mare bareback on a wooded trail. The 
mountain lion was waiting on some rocks above the trail. As the horse 
approached she saw the lion just as it was getting ready to spring 
and spun and bolted throwing the rider off. The rider saw the lion 
land on the pad and sink it's teeth into the horse's neck just above 
the withers. The mare was going full speed up the trail and dodged to 
the side under a low branch and the impact killed the lion. There was 
a serious rip at the top of the withers from the teeth, the pad 
protected the mare's back from the claws, the rider was unhurt and 
rode his mare home. Score:Horse"1"....Lion"0"
