Make sure your horse has the temperament and training for riding on congested public trails. Busy multi-use trails are not the property place for schooling green horses.
Leave the parking area cleaner than you found it. Put any droppings, hay and garbage back in your trailer.
Use common sense in crowded areas.
Cantering/galloping on crowded trails endangers everyone.
Dismount and remove your horse from the trail if you begin experiencing behavior problems.
Stay on the equestrian trail provided on either side of the asphalt. Do not ride on the asphalt.
Dismount to cross bridges and wait until other users are clear before crossing.
Step off the trail (if possible) if your horse needs to relieve himself. Dismount and kick the droppings off the trail.
Protect the trail environment - do not remove things that belong on trails or blaze new trails.
Tie only to designated hitching posts or your trailer and don't leave horses unattended.
Become the eyes and ears of the trail system. Inform other equestrians of these guidelines.
