Merry Christmas!
I wrote this article for a local horse publication after talking with a good friend and riding buddy the other day. We were talking about some of the crappy trail experiences that we've had on horseback over the years. I think we covered everything from fellow horsemen that run past, to bicyclists, to crazy trail use rules. Our chat stuck with me and I've whittled down the various problems, and associated resolutions, to nine "guidelines" if you will that will ensure good rides far into the future. While it is intended for an equine audience I think many if not all of the points can easily be converted to use by all other trail users.

Hope it rings true for you and helps bring a little Peace on Earth to our trails!
