[RC] pet peeve/gates - rides2farAngie, you must not live in cow country! Unless the RM can provide gate watchers, riders have to open and close their own. Nope. Never had a single endurance trail pass through any pastured cows...ever. But remember...our fields are lush, so an average cow field might just be 20 acres. I know at the Man Against Horse in Arizona most of the 50 mile ride was on one ranch so there's the difference. I do think we probably have as much grass in 20 acres as they had on that place though. >g< Our trails tend to be in places that aren't fit to build homes. Around here that means the sides of a mountain. We spend a LOT of time on rocky mountainsides or National Forests (rocky but includes some mountain top!). Million Pines is flat so it crosses lots of private property, but that keeps getting leased out to "hunting clubs". A hunter pays something like $100 to have an acre of his own to hunt. The rotten thing about that is that hunting seasons seem to correspond with the best competition weather. :-P So count your blessings...they don't hunt cows yet.
