You have to keep you eye on the trail and if you want to hear your
riding partner scream, you got to learn when to duck at the right
moment - just at the last minute, so they don't have time to react ;-)!
I was riding with my friend Beth who had turned
her head to say something to me and turned back just in time to take a
banana spider right on her helmet. She did the most perfect flying
dismount off her 16 hand horse and had her helmet off by the time she
hit the ground.............yes, I laughed til I cried. Now this is the
same woman who will get off her horse and pick up snakes on the trail
for our entertainment (I have pictures)..........go figure!
