Re: Bikes and Horses (was Ten Commandments for Trail Riders)

Me too (BG)!  If my horse is aware of them (behind or in front, uphill or 
down) I wave them on, saying 'its OK, he sees you'. I figure its polite to 
them, and also gets him used to bikes coming by so that if I come across a 
rude one that doesn't stop, he is used to them passing at a fairly decent 
speed.  (I also keep my own speed - if I'm trotting, I keep going at my same 
speed.)  I always speak to them as they pass, and almost all of them reply, 
which helps also.
