Pregame for a homecoming game. Home schools nickname is "the Knights" so they have a rider in full armor on top of a white horse. My crew and I are preparing for the coin toss. Home team band begins the play and two or three seconds later I see two of the guys standing shoulder to shoulder moving back and forth with a terribly frightened look in their eyes (kind of like a 3 Stooges skit). I turn and see a white horse darting right at us. Must of thought we were fellow equistrians -- zebras. You see, the band had spooked the horse, the horse threw the rider, and that horse came running directly at us like Secretariate!
We were relieved the following week when one of the posted rules on the field was, "No Horseback Riding!".
