Finally, I spoke my mind. I tapped the one on the shoulder and said please refrain from using the word snap would you please. This guy goes nuts on me, says he will say what he wants. I asked him to please not use the word snap because it sounds as if he wants the horse to break a leg, etc..

I ended up moving to another spot. Anyone ever here of using the term snap? Man that just does not seem cool.
Curt,
I don't like the word at all.
Today it almost happened to me. I was helping bring in horses from the various pastures and I had a new one, a polo pony (cause a LI club puts theirs at the farm for the winter). Anyway, this one was one crazy fella.
He spooked at something, not sure what. Turned me in circles for a couple of minutes but I wasn't letting go.
My arm almost went "snap".
Not a good thing at all.
