[RC] tougher trails - Ridecamp Guest

Nancy said: "I have a bit of a problem with purposely putting in too much tough (ankle breaker type) trail to force horses to walk. The people who aren't concerned about their horses often go too fast there also, or just run all out where they can. And, it forces the conservative riders to go faster than they'd like on the good parts."
Two comments: 1) perhaps we worry too much about "other people going too fast". We are responsible for our horses, and they are responsible for theirs. Altho I certainly know people whose riding I deplore, I do not consider it my job to police them. and 2) nothing "forces the conservative riders" to do anything. Oh, unless you mean their desire to win....Otherwise, they are free to ride their own ride.
terre (who thinks trails don't have to be 'ankle breakers' to be
tough--they can merely be steep, or very 'technical')
