>  The Ten Commandments of Trail Riding
>
>   1. Thou shalt not kill the spirit of the ride.
>   2. Thou shalt not litter.
>   3. Thou shalt not steal around another horse and rider upon the trail.
> Ask
>  permission, then pass at a moderate pace.
>   4. Blessed are the hikers and bikers, even though they fear horse
manure,
>  they will be allies in trail legislation.
>   5. Thou shalt not have false expectations of the trail.  Expect mud,
> flies,
>  obstacles along the way and prepare accordingly.  (And don't complain
about
>  Acts of You-Know-Who).
>   6. Thou shalt hold the health and safety of your horse and others above
>  a personal desire for fun, adventure or being the first back to the
> trailer.
>   7. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's truck and/or trailer; nor park
your
>  horse where he might ding them.
>   8. Tis better to tie a single red ribbon in your horse's tail than to
> curse
>  the person who rides into the kick zone.
>   9. Thou shalt not assume that other riders need or want your assistance
or
>  advice.
>  10. Honor thy horse's natural instincts above your own, forsaking
gimmickry
>  and false training.
