<another time! a horse broke a snap and the little metal piece in it
hit me like a bullet. Now if horses pull back, like really sitting back on
their lead line, I bail out, avoiding the "bullet effect". >
Dear Beth;
Same thing happened to me once. Have a really nice scar in my right
hand, base of my index finger from it. I remember the mark somewhat
fondly, tho...as my best endurance mare Teza was the one that inflicted it,
then a youngster, now 21 and the kid's mare; it was my then-friend/now
husband who dropped everything he was doing at work to rush me to the hospital
for stitches.
Brass breaks because it is often a brass plating that covers some pot
metal stuff.
