[endurance] tko in one...

i know we all sometimes wish we had steel-toed shoes when our four-legged
friends step on our toes, but has anyone ever considered mouth guards as
standard equipment?

"Headline: Kevin TKO'd in first round by young mare..."
Pulled Miss B out of the field, closed the gate behind us, and led her over
to the feed bucket on the ground only a few feet away. Went to tie the lead
line to the post so she wouldn't leave while I attended to other tasks. Out
of nowhere she swings her head around and lands a nice "left hook". The
good news is she DIDN'T break my jaw. However from the amount of blood i
spit out I wasn't too sure what was left in my mouth... Fortunately, it
turns out to be just a 1/2" cut on the inside of my lip. Serves notice to
remind me just how hazardous it can be handling an animal of this size and
quickness... Maybe I should wear my Troxel all the time!

Kevin and a lip that will soon look like Eddie Murphy's Nutty Professor...
