Question on BIKES/Horses

The local mountain bike folks are having a ride on
some of the same trails we use, following us by
only one week. We're communicating with them about
how we WILL get our ribbons down by then, and they
asked to know which we prefer when they meet horses
on the trails:

Do bike riders get off trail ABOVE or BELOW the
trail for best saftey around horses ?

My thought is uphill of the trail is best but would
like to know what the convention and conventional
wisdom have to say...and I need to know ASAP.

Thanks..........Ann
