Re: [RC] [RC] snakes - Truman Prevatt

Came galloping around a corner on a single track. My wife was behind me. A large downed limb across the trail catches my eye as we go over it. Then it dawned on me that that limb had a big set of rattles. The Jbird must have gotten it with his hind feet because it was thrashing as my wife went over it. That diamondback was huge.

I was riding my Walking horse gelding one afternoon when we came flying around a corner and came across a snake in the middle of the road. My gelding calmly stopped, went stomp, stomp, stomp with a front hoof on the snake, and then went flying on down the road. Didn't even pin his ears.

    Speaking of snakes. I was ridng yesterday the weather was great
    here in ga. I was on new trail made for the upcoming endurance
    ride in January. I was in front on my arab and my husband was
    behind on his quarterhorse. I topped a small hill and this large
    diamond back was lying in the sun across the trail. i saw it and
    tried to stop my horse. since he loves to run up the hills it took
    a second too long. by the time we stopped he was astride the snake
    with his hind hoove in the middle of the snake. I swear the snakes
    head was huge and his rattles started shaking. I kicked my horse's
    butt around just as the snake stated to coil up and then it
    started moving towards the brush. My husbands horse was aware of
    the snake my who is a smart horse did not seem to notice the
    snake. Any of you have a good snake story?
