I'm not trying to start a controversy over this tragedy. I don't even want 
to imagine the pain she is going through losing her horse like that but I 
honestly don't see how it was the mountain bikers fault. I might have read 
it wrong but it sounded like they met up around a blind corner. He didn't 
hit her it was her horse that spooked and panicked is all. I don't see how 
the biker could have prevented this other than creeping along the trail at a 
very slow pace? I know I wouldn't like to be told that I could never go 
above a walk when on a trail. A safe speed is one thing but the horse being 
suprised like that and the ensuing results could happen at any speed I would 
think?
