An Unexpected Trailering Hazard

I had just loaded my horse back in the trailer yesterday after a great ride, and was doing my last walk-around before hitting the road when I heard a “ping” inside.  When I opened a door, I found a humongous horsefly buzzing around my boy.  I shudder to think of the aggravation to my horse, trapped for 30 minutes with this 1 1/2″ biting predator!  Fortunately it flew out when I opened more doors and waved the manure fork around.
