It is time to hit the trails, but before
you do make sure you have good trail manners. Today we will discuss polite
trail manners so you can be part of a happy trail riding group.
The leader of the group is in
charge of the whole group. The leader needs to make sure every one is in line
and no one is being left behind. He/She watches every one making sure that they
stay on the trail together as a group.
A
very important thing to remember is horses are herd animals. Even if you can
ride out alone doesn’t mean every horse is comfortable being alone. If anyone
stops, stay with him or her. Here are some examples of when you need to stop
for other people: getting a gate, going to the bathroom, crossing over a bridge,
wading through water, and/or stepping over a fallen tree. Just wait for others
and it will make the whole trail riding experience better.
To
sum it all up, just remember stay as a group. I hope you learned something. If
you have any more rules or trail manners, please let me know.
