 Ironically, it began in a fashion similar to this fiasco, with many hot 
 tempers and a lot of angry rhetoric.   Fortunately, with some fine 
leadership 
 on the part of both the parks and the equestrians, we all sat down in one 
 room and hashed things out.   Outcome is we have developed an Equestrian 
 Working Group  which meets regularly w/the Parks folks, who are allowing us 
 input into trail signage, placement of tie rails, water troughs, etc. Hope 
 the folks involved in this current mess can seize the opportunity to make 
 lemonade from these lemons, and strengthen relationships with those who have 
 the responsibility for oversight of a precious resource. >>

Fabulous idea!!  There obviously were some clear thinkers at work here, 
people who were really trying to come to an amicable solution. This is known 
as diplomacy. Congratulations!
