    [RC] river crossings - Lauren Fraser


    Please, be gentle...it's my first time posting to Ridecamp.
    I've got a question that I couldn't find an answer to in the archives. What criteria would you use to decide if a river is safe to cross on horseback? What factors do you consider when deciding where to cross a river? (e.g.: river depth, current strength, footing etc) There are good trails in my area rumoured to be "just across the river..."
    You'd think that my white-water kayaking husband could help answer this one for me...
     
    Thank you,
    Lauren
