Re: SWARMED!



Hi Angie & List

You made a good point telling people to make sure they check their trailer
for hornet nests. A few years ago, my Kit was swarmed in the trailer. She
jumped the breast bar and hooked her forelegs behind the elbows. It was very
traumatic for everyone (3 of us jammed in the front with bees and her feet
in our faces).
She somehow also had gotten a leg over her tie so she also had her nose
drawn down to the bar. We got her free, off the trailer to patch up what I
could, then took her home (she loaded as if nothing happened!). Instead of a
nice daylong trailride w/friends in Alleghany St. Park, (they all went), I
got a $100 vet bill and a horse I couldn't ride for 6 weeks. I had used the
trailer the day before no problem.
