I hope you gave that horse A WHOLE CASE of
carrots...what a good horse!
Tracey (thankful we don't have mountain
lions in North Texas...at least I don't think we
do) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ were
out riding solo as usual and we were on one of the more remote trails in
the park
I will always trust Porter to take care of me out on the
trail...We came around a turn in Russian Ridge and there was high brush and
rocks to the left and he put on the brakes, Ears forward taking big sniff
of the air, then he started backing up. I couldn't see anything and nothing
I could do with my leg,voice or tap with a crop would make him move
forward....then it moved...we were 50 feet or so downwind of a Mountain
lion...Porter backed another 30 feet before he turned around and then we
trotted off.... with me watching our backside while Porter steered the
ship...he got some nice treats back at the trailer --- Eric Drew ---
