The main problem isn't the spooking at the sight of them, it's the fact that 
two objects coming around blind corners from opposite directions tend to 
collide. We try to keep talking so we can be heard, but bikes & horses are 
really quiet in the woods (or is it the wind whistling through our ears??)!! 
On twisty turny narrow trails, visibility is very limited at the speeds 
being travelled.
