[RC] Folsom lake accident - Sheila_Larsen
I looked at the article and my heart goes out to those people. Not only
are there motorcycles illegally riding there now but also trucks going on
those trails. When I opened the article and read the comments this comment
was on there:
This story does not accutactly reflect what happened out there. The horses
were not merely "spooked" by the dirt bikes.
These dirt bike riders were terrorizing these and other riders. They were
doing circles around the horses and when the
horses fled, they chased them on their dirt bikes. When the riders fell off
they did not stop to help, but continued to
chase the horses. It is fortunate that the two riders that were dumped were
not seriously injured or killed. Tragically,
the the young horse had suffer for hours until the vet arrive to put him
down. This behaviour has got to stop!
Personally if they find these people they should be charged with assault with
a deadly weapon. The article indicated that
the riders were ok. I thought of riding down there last weekend but maybe
not.
