About the Trails
-
Multi-use trails - Trails are frequented by hikers and mountain bikers, who may not know how to act around horses. Be alert - be aware of blind corners and don't be afraid to ask for more space if you think your horse needs it.
-
Trails are narrow, steep and rocky - Many of the trails in Herron park are steep and rocky in sections - some horses need boots or shoes to ride comfortably.
-
Trails users may not be familiar with horses - While we all amiably share the trail, not everyone knows how to act around horses, and not all trail sections allow for easy maneuvering. You should be prepared to manage your horse on steep trail should it get surprised by runner or cyclist.
