PRINCETON, N.C. — A horse owner has nothing but praise for the way her animal reacted in a dangerous situation recently.
Jennii Peterschick, of 181 Christopher Ave. in Princeton, was fixing herself lunch when the barking of her dogs drew her to the pen where Saddie, a quarterhorse, was kept.
When Peterschick stepped into the pen, she was bitten by a snake she described as "fat, muddy and black." Before the snake could strike again, Saddie stomped, then chased the snake into the woods.
A nurse at the emergency room told Peterschick that she was lucky. She did not get a "fully-loaded bite."
