[RC] hikers yielding -- uphill not downhill - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Teresa Van Hove tvanhove@xxxxxxxxxxxx   or

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

NO!  I want hikers to go to the uphill side if they're stepping off for me.  
Geez, I want my horse to leave enough room, but if there is some accidental 
contact I DONT want to send Jack rolling to bottom of the hill and break his 
crown.    Only if the  downhill side is wider/better footing should a hiker 
step off that way.

Teresa and Grey and Shade --they're usually pretty nice for hikers unless they 
think theres a chance to mug them for treats, Shade gives bikes a wide berth, 
Grey thinks as long as the bike is under a human, 6-8 inches is plenty of 
clearance so I have to make him move over.


The reason is that on narrow mountain trails it is much easier and safer 
for humans to move off of the trail on the down hill side >>>
