mountian bike riders treat public trails as their own personal racecourse,

Connie Berto, if you are
reading this thread...didn't you mention posted speed limits in some Marin
Parks? Wasn't it 15MPH?
Karen you raised some good points, I'd also like to add that just because
you're on horseback doesn't mean you don't have to obey "speed limits"...
I guess I'm a little ultra sensitive because I have green horses, but horses
travelling at 22 mph are (if you ask me) way scarier and more dangerous than
mountain bikes. Also, if you're going to "pony" a horse on the trail with
you, could you PLEASE keep the lead rope attached?? Its one thing entirely
if you are on relatively private trails, but at a State Park, County Park, or
National Forest ... I really don't think other riders, hikers or bikers should
have to deal with your 2 year old horse running around like a lunatic (ok, I
just got to experience that particular *joy* with my very green youngster so I
may be a bit bitter <g>).
