Rode with a friend today. My horse got pretty darn close to a rattlesnake. Just as he spun around (thankfully, I stayed on) I thought I heard it. But as soon as he got away from it it quit so we weren't sure what spooked him. My friend thought maybe he spooked at a big rock about 30' off the trail, but I was pretty sure he didn't. I tried to get him to go forward again and he spun around again, but that time, it must have been getting mad and it rattled longer so we knew what he was spooking at. The 3rd time's a charm, we got around it, but Jericho was pretty nervous the rest of the ride. We could see it's rattle sticking up out of the grass a couple of feet from the trail, but when we passed it, it's head was almost on the trail.
