Yes it is - very. An experience last year at a ride where 3 snooty ladies 
with quite an accent barged in front of my daughter got a bit of  a talking 
to from me, but of course, people like that could care less. Here I was with 
an 11 year old girl, waiting oru turn, teaching HER good manners, and tehse 
creatures barged right in front of us, and finally we had to leave without 
our hroses getting a drink because these people were bumping into my 
daughter's horse and left her horse too disconcerted to drink. Rude? In the 
extreme. Dangerous? At times. A good example? PErish the thought!

If you SEE yourself in this kind of missive, perhaps you should either 
consider involving yourself in a sport that does not require courtesy (or 
common sense either) like tennis or something and stay off the trails. sigh! 
I get so tired of rude people on heh road and now even on the trail.
