seems to me the biggest
predator of all is a developer. How about let's converse about how we
can preserve what precious little is left of riding places, open space
and public lands? Just another thought.>
this is very true, much of the area surrounding
us has been developed although our land hasn't. Plus the increase in
population of predators has greatly increased because of the changes in
hunting practice laws. we have wonderful dirt trails here and we do
share our private trails if someone asks permission. when the forest
lands are closed due to fire restrictions, the beach and dunes is
closed because of the nesting birds, etc. our trails here at home are
not closed. We really need to preserve our use on public lands or one
day there will not be any wilderness area that we can legally access
for our own pleasure of riding our horse. the beaches and dunes in my
area used to be a wonderful place to train and ride. Now there are
fenced areas where no one is allowed to enter. It's sad, very sad. I
can see restricting some motor vehicle use in those areas, as I know
the damage we have had here at times from kids on 4-wheelers and
motorcycles. But, have never seen any damage here at home from horse
use on our trails, never.
