Heart Stopper

This guy was my heart stopper. He was checking out all the ewes when suddenly he
turned and headed my way. He wasn't just moseying either...he had purpose. The impulse
to scream and run takes over but I held my ground while clicking away. When he was probably
10-12 feet from me he veered off to my right. All I can say is the sound of knocking knees
was drowned out by the sound of pounding horse hooves...which I realized was my heart clattering
wildly.
