elwapo - I am a little curious as to why your daughter's friend is traveling around in 'snake' season - barefooted! If circumstances were that she, somehow, found herself afoot without her horse in that country, and maybe alone - - -! Not smart! Nor 'cool' either! I was walking through a wheat field one time and got struck by a 'rattler' that I didn't see"! Fortunately, he hit my boot heel, and broke off his fang in it. And I was alone. Scared the "Hello Joe" out of me. A hard lesson is sometimes learned - - too late!
