[RC] Horses & bikes on the trail... what to do??? - Tx TriggerThe point is D'Arcy, horses have a brain of their own, cars do not. Horses are a thinking creature, that CAN make it's own decisions at times. Bringing up that fact to non-horse owners, and putting a negative opinion on horses, opens us (horse users) up to people suggesting they not share trails with us. My suggestion was to only reword a sentence or two of the well written article, to not put negativity in other users minds from the get go. We don't want them to feel horses are dangerous, unpredictable etc. I personally feel that all users of trails need to work together to find the best solutions to being able to coexist. And that might even mean some folks TRAIN their horses about bikes, people pushing strollers etc.... Imagine that....

Recalling an incident on the news last week when someone lost control of their car and ran it inside someone's house! :( Point being cars are dangerous and should be banned! LOL!
