My friend and I were going down the trail when her horse saw a terrible horse eating turkey, and of course, she did her best to save her rider. Fortunately, my friend is a great rider and she didn?t come off while her horse was saving her!

My horse responds differently to turkey hunters than deer hunters. Hes not so frightened by the orange on the deer hunters as he is when he "knows" a camoflouged turkey hunter is somewhere nearby. I've taken to riding with a bell on his girth, a friend gave me some old sleigh bells & these work good. When we ride alone I think it gives him some "white noise" and hes less likely to be looking at everything & doing those little stutter steps and little jigs trying to find things to be spooky about. Lets the hunters know were on trail as we ding ding ding along. I wear bright colors like a bright bandana, choose his red saddle pad, and wear a bright t-shirt or this old yellow Nike vest if its cool enough. I have a bright white mesh rump rug and a bright red fleece rump rug, again if its cool enough. It was itn he 70's this weekend so I had nothign but my vest and bell to keep from getting a new bodily orofice on me or my horse. So far so good...........now granted some people: hikers, horses, hunters would prefer I not have the bell on, but I prefer not to get shot or encounter a horsemans dog off leash who might be feeling territorial and far in fornt of his rider. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
