Re: [RC] hikers yielding -- uphill not downhill - Sisu West Ranch"...NO! I want hikers to go to the uphill side if they're stepping off for me. Geez, I want my horse to leave enough room, but if there is some accidental contact I DONT want to send Jack rolling to bottom of the hill and break his crown. Only if the downhill side is wider/better footing should a hiker step off that w..."WRONG WRONG WRONG!!! Talk to your local Back Country Horsemen. They can explain about the consequences of a string of mules spooking down hill away from a back packer (carrying a large very scary pack)carrying 4 pack mules, the lead horse and rider over a 2000' cliff. If an equine does spook they will almost always spook AWAY from the human. You need to have them trying to go up, not falling down.
