Re: [RC] Permission from private land owners - Bonnie Davis

Hi Kari:

Don't contact by letter if at all possible.  It's easier to say 'no' via
reply.  Find out who the owners are and go visit them.  In fact, take a
batch of cookies or something.  I've found getting permission to cross
private land works well that way.  Folks get to met you in person, see the
kind of person you are and you can tell 'em you'll always close gates, never
take anyone with you when riding, write a release if they like and let them
know that if you see something wrong as you're riding along you'll tell 'em.
My daughter checks stock for people and with a couple places, she picks up
their mail for them too.  (One lady who actually screamed at Becky to get
off the neighbor's property even though Becky had permission now will let
Becky ride her 300 acres because Becky found her dog one day about a mile
from home and brought it back to the lady and didn't accept the reward.)
Offer them a service along with your asking to let them ride on their land.
You know the old saying, you can more flies with honey.....

Subject: [RC] Permission from private land owners



I was wondering how everyone goes about asking permission to cross over
private property for training rides? Should we offer some type of
written release? Any suggestions would be helpful. My neighbors who live
locally are no problem, but there's a few I need to contact my mail and
have never met in person.
TIA
