PDJ - I almost fell out of my chair laughing at the teeth thing.

Anyway, personally I would have gone back and checked it out (with my big dogs, and maybe some sort of weapon). The fact that there was women's clothes - and lots of creepers around - seems fishy to me, in a there is a raped and murdered girl in your forest kinda way. I'd have your relative call the cops, tell them she (think it's a she, sorry if it's a he) found clothes and that She - not the horse - smelled something rotting further out on the trail but did not wish to investigate it herself for safeties sake. It could just be (and hopefully is) a false alarm and a silly horse, but what if it's not? It's not just some dead body in the woods it's someone's friend and relative.
