I know a man ( a man should have had a little better control over this) that was on a ride, had to pee.  So he gets off the horse and ties him up.  I would have held the horse.  But anyway, some horses come by and the horse gets loose in the woods.  He didn't find that horse for a month.  I helped them look for him.  Finally a man that lived near the forest (Talladega) saw the horse and called.  This poor horse had been loose a month, still had all of his tack, but the saddle had slide up him, and the girth had cut all the way to the backbone.  Much longer and the horse would have died.  He had gotten hung on some cut over trees.

Lesson Here:  Be careful when peeing.
