Subject: RE: [RC] Bears on the trail
 
I live in Foresthill and encounter bears on my property and on the trail a lot.  If I spot the bear I yell at it and talk  loud at it or them  and it helps to give the horse confidence if he thinks I can be meaner than the bear, yes my horses have spooked at them but not to bad if they think that I am not affraid and I will take care of him. Bears that are to friendly or dangerous are usually killed, not to many places left to relocate them.  We also have mountain lions.  I don't always like running into wild life that my horse can spook at but we have to share the trail with them as well as bikes.  I' just thankfull that we dont have wolves or grizzles.
