Courtesy for Horseback Riders on Shared Trails
- Help with the maintenance on the land where you ride.
- Train your horse to be around other people, other animals, bicycles and motorized vehicles.
- Let someone know where you are going & when you will return.
- Show your gratitude to landowners.
- Park in designated/authorized parking areas only.
- Get to know other users. Talk to them and be friendly. Say hello and smile.
- Always stay on the right side of the trail (no matter how wide). This helps to avoid accidents and head-on collisions.
- Always look ahead, beside and behind you.
- When riding downhill yield to uphill traffic. Uphill traffic has the right-of-way. Always wait at the top of a hill or the first safe spot to stop until the uphill traffic has passed.
- Take responsibility for yourself. You may not be able to change someone else’s behavior but you can change your own.
