Is this true? I had this belief that horses hated snakes, but a few
weeks ago we came across a large king snake lazily crossing the trail. I
was ready for a big reaction from my horse but didn't get anything, not
even a curious look. I was surprised that she had no reaction at all.

So Bob, if I come across a rattler, should I be ready for a different
reaction?
