[RC] ... disappoints me when I run into discourteous riders - sherman
Title: Message
You're very
lucky to at least have separate trails, too bad the users don't follow the
rules. We actually have to share these trails with hikers, runners, high school
track teams, strollers, have even come across people pulling a wagon and a
family all carrying sleeping bags and backpacks. The BIG difference is that the
yield signs all along the trail are clear about hikers yielding to horses and
probably 99.9% of them do, so I've never had a problem with any of my horses,
even green ones. It would be nice if other users had their own trail,
but I don't think that'll ever happen here. And trail usage has increased
considerably in the past few years, especially since a section of
trail that equestrians used to be able to use to stay away from the foot
traffic on busy days, has become inaccessible due to the rerouting of the river
and removal of a dam. We just have to cooperate and FOLLOW THE RULES to keep the
trails safe (and open) for all users. I have heard lots of EEEWWWWs from
city kids when a horse poops or farts within their sight or
hearing...(:>)

There is park here close to me.. they have horse trails.. and they
also have designated hiking trails that are flat and well patted down for
walking, etc.. what do we constantly see???!! what?? bikers,
yuppies running those strange little running baby carriers, joggers, walkers,
high school track teams, loose dogs carry bones.. no, that really
happened.. what do you think my horse did?? DOG CARRYING A
BONE!!!! Lucky it wasn't hers!! LOL!!
I don't understand
when "you, as a walker, or whatever" have a designated trail right next to the
horse trail.. why do you choose to do whatever on the horse trail.. then OF
COURSE WHEN YOU SEE A FREAKING RIDER ON A HORSE.. choose to complain about
shoes, with nails that you freaking stubbed your toe on.. yadda
yadda..
DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE RUNNING THROUGH HORSE PADDIES???? Why
are you on my trail?? and why are you complaining to me?? YOU
FREAK??
I usually have a nice retort.. as do most of my
friends..
but you can't stop people from having road rage, you can't
stop them from being stupid.. you can explain it to them, but you can't
understand it for them..
