I've got that trick down a bit, too. I love trotting
down the trail and seeing the web at the last minute and bending backwards over
Scarlet's butt so that Dawn can get the full face of web. Hey - it's good
for the complexion!! <beg>
Come ride in FL in Aug. We have these things called banana
spiders - because that's about how big they are. The build their webs about
head hight to a rider on a horse and there is one about every 100 feet. The
good news is they are pretty harmless, I've had them dangling off my helmet in
my face, on my back on my shoulder, on my horse and none the worst for the
wear. You got through on Tuesday and take them out and by the time you go back
on on Wednesday they are up again.
Most spiders aren't a big deal. My
favorite trick is when I am riding with someone is to be quiet and duck at the
last minute so the person behind has no time to react. I hear they taste
pretty good ;-).
Ewwww...in South Texas we have these brown striped humongo spiders
Just a bit of advice...spider season is *not* a good time to ride a horse
that requires 2 hands to control, and attempt to pony another, at speed,
down spider infested trails. Just a little thing I learned last year in
one of my "Duh" moments. I counted 42 webs that plastered over my face in
2 hours. >yuk!<
