My husband and I were riding and ran into a ground
nest. Now the mare I was riding took off and we were out of there but my
husbands horse decided to stay and fight. He bucked like crazy and got
stung multiple times. When Gene finally got him moving the hornets stayed
attached for the ride. About half a mile away where I was waiting he
stopped his horse and we had to comb the hornets out of the horses mane and
tail. The horse was stung close to 100 times and started to go into
shock. Fortunately we were close to the trailer and home. I called
our vet on the way home and he met us there probably within 20 minutes of the
episode. The horse had to be treated and since Daz is insulin
resistant his feet got sore and it was several weeks before all was
well again. We went back on foot and sprayed the he---- out of that
nest!
