Happy New Year, Zonie!

As a former owner and rider of horses I can attest to the dangers of mud to equines. I have seen riders force their horses into situations where the mud looked perfectly harmless only to sink in up to their chests. Usually the horse sensed that something was wrong and refused or balked only to have the rider insist they go forward. Any of us who have ever had our feet and legs trapped and encased in mud knows how hard it is to extricate them. It's a lot harder for a horse and usually results in some form of injury such as pulled tendons, ligaments or worse. So thanks for taking that into consideration and trying to remedy a potential accident.

So glad we don't have to contend with rattle snakes here. I know we used to have Timber Rattlers and I heard of one over in New Hampshire but I have never seen one and don't want to. I would more likely die from shock and fear after seeing one than from the poison of it's bite. And I believe even a dead snake can still "bite" and inject poison. At least you use caution and judgment and are aware of your surroundings but not something I would want to deal with.

As to your boots I've noticed the same thing. I have come out of reallythick mud completely covered from head to toe and look down to see my boots looking quite clean. Not sure if it's the leather or some type of oil they apply to them to repel water and moisture but it does seem to wear off a bit over time but it's just never the same as cloth fabrics regarding holding mud.
