Re: [RC] why I wear a helmet - Chris PausOh gosh, did this bring back some memories! Way back when I was a kid, way before there were riding helmets, I was on a nearby trail and saw "the trail less traveled." Being adventurous and somewhat bored with the same old trail, and being 16, I decided to try the less traveled trail... Well, I got a ways down the trail and realized somehow I had gotten myself surrounded by the yellow orb spiders, huge ones, I think they are the same spider that some people call banana spiders. Wicked but beautiful creatures. I became a trick rider that day. I hung myself down on the side of my mare and beat it out of there. Whew! The only scarier thing that ever happened on that trail was when we got chased by a bunch of motorcyclists... chris --- Agilbxr@xxxxxxx wrote: I'm sure it's not what everyone is thinking. No, I did not come off my horse this morning. If anything, we had a beautiful ride, if a bit hot--florida just remembered it was august. I've gotten used to the banana spiders out here. I have about 10 miles worth of trails that are of the low bug variety, so that's what I ride in the summers. ===== "A good horse makes short miles," George Eliot Chris and Star BayRab Acres http://pages.prodigy.net/paus =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
