No horses on more than 20% grade

[Kandhy Franklin <kfrankli@sdcoe.k12.ca.us>]

In a Calif preserve owned by the Ca Fish and Game, horses are being
taken off trails that are more than
20% grade.  Is there someone out there that has some information that
either supports this or talks about the strength of the horse's pulling
power or going down a hill?  I have a meeting on this question in front
of a citizen's advisory group in the month of September.  This
particular question is regarding specifically Mission Trails Park in
Santee Calif.
If this could be discussed for all to read, then I think we all should
benefit.
Thanks
