I honestly hope that this last fatality is not in vain. > My heart goes out to the rider and to the horse.
I certainly also feel for the rider and most assuredly the horse...but please do not legislate us out of a trail to ride. My dream is to someday experience that trail in all it's original pioneer state. Too many things in our lives are taken away because they have, at one time or another, been dangerous to someone or something.
