[RC] Rude hikers - Ridecamp Guest

==========================================

Darn it. I got to go clean out my barn. No time to post. But I couldn't let 
this one pass.

Karen is confused as to who has the rightaway, horses or hikers. Does it really 
matter? You shouldn't ride over hikers even if they had the rightaway. If you 
make habit of riding over hikers someday you'll end up with some poor hiker 
with an arm hung up in your breastcollar or girth. There you go troting down 
the trail with a hiker screaming and bouncing around under your horse. This 
sort of thing can spook the calmest horse. I think that's why most riders bail 
off if their saddle spins under thier horse. A horse just won't tolerate 
someone bouncing around down there.
