[RC] WS 50 ACCIDENT WE WERE THERE - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Tara Walker and Jacqy Gamble twpumpkin@xxxxxxxxxxx  or

==========================================

We were 1 horse back from the accident. The lady riding the horse was having a 
hard time controlling her horse.  The man
(medium height skinny man riding a smaller gray horse) was riding so close 
behind  her that we thought they were riding together. They weren't. He 
continued to ride up behind her having his horse make contact with hers.  We 
told him to give her some space maybe her horse would relax or clam down.  He 
totally ignored us. it happened at the beginning of the ride approx. 1/4 mile 
east of Kuputz Spring. We were going down to El Dorado canyon which is very 
narrow switchbacks, the lady's horse stumbled and couldn't get its footing,the 
lady fell onto the trail, and jumped up trying to get her horse up on the trail 
and the horse started falling down into the canyon below.  THIS COULD OF BEEN 
AVOIDED BY GIVING HER SOME SPACE.
