I moved from Texas to Florida 8 years ago.
The first ride I took my mare on was an eye opener for the kind of wildlife in
FL. No, it wasn't an aligator, it was a deer. We were riding a long
down a forest road by ourselves. One of those days that make you enjoy
life. It was beautiful out. Velvet slammed on the brakes and
turned. There was a deer following us. I turned her back around and
we were off at a nice brisk trot and she slammed on the brakes again, turned
around and he was still following us. I of course started laughing.
This went on for about 10 minutes. I finally had to scare the deer away to
keep my mare from going insane.
