Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

well, jody, i cant remember if you were there, but at the ponce de leon pirate run a few years ago,  something similar to this happened out on the trail.  i dont remember the two ladies names who were involved, but as they were moving along at a fast trot,several deer ran across the trail in front of them.  then, another deer burst out of the underbrush and crashed directly into one of the horses.  all hell broke loose of course!  the horses took off, running and bucking, both riders got dumped.   i was in camp when the two riderless horses came charging into camp.   both of the riders were injured.  i think one of them had a broken arm.   the other rider was somewhat bruised, but  got her horse, went back out and finished the ride.

kim williams could probably provide more info on this.       cowboy ed
