Most of the trees out my way are mesquite, which means thorns (or espinas as they say down here). When something similar happened to me while riding a buddy's horse, I had time to duck and grab the horse's neck until we got past the branches. I got a few scratches, but nothing on my face. Once out of danger, I was able to slow her to a walk and then stop her. Close call there! Most of the trees out my way are mesquite, which means thorns (or espinas as they say down here).

I was an old lady (well, from your perspective) when my horse took off galloping after a wild colt with a 40 acre pasture in front of her. I was scared to death! All I could do was yell, "Help me, Lord!" when through that adrenaline haze I heard my riding buddy yell, "Turn her in a circle!" I did, and she slowed down and finally stopped. And it does feel good when you realize you've risen to a new challenge and come out on top! Good job!
