Hello all: this incident happened to a rent string
at Five Brooks in Point Reyes National Seashore in Marin County. Their
horses are as bomb-proof as they come and all riders wear helmets. The
wrangler and string goes only on wide fire roads. Horrible as it is,
imagine it happening on a narrow trail, or one with a steep
drop-off. you may forward this to whomever.

Oh, BTW, it continues to amaze me there aren't more
signs at Five Brooks regarding the proximity of the Horse camp, AND the rental
stable to Stewarts Trail....Amanda from Stewarts
told me of a nightmare of a story regarding a speeding bike running right into
the rental string at the corner where the stable horses come out.....bike
skidded right under horse'; horse stepped into wheel, caught legs, bolted.
Rider and biker injured; and horse got spokes through leg tendons, had to be put
down...
Don't get me wrong, I go out of my way to be polite
and thank bikers for slowing down...
So do I, and I thank them when they ask if it's OK to
pass. And, I lend them my pliers/screwdriver when they are in
trouble. CB
