Rather than keep repeating myself to individuals, I'll just paste in a
couple of my answers to Annie:

Something else to remember:  I worked with hundreds of ATV/motorcycle
folks in So CA.  Every time they tried to compromise or be reasonable,
they lost everything and got their teeth kicked in.  Very much like you
are feeling, many of the decided to always publicly take a hard line
stand, in the hopes of coming out with something left.  They mostly lost
everything and now the same is happening to horse people, AND some of them
who are rightly bitter are laughing at us because it's our turn.  CC

There's always an ass in every group...including all of ours.  I think you
should continue to be above the anger and continue to negotiate with the
land agencies folks and also try to find some ATV/motorcycle folks that
you can use as allies.  I suggest you contact the Blue Ribbon Coalition
and emphasize your desire to work cooperatively and ask for their
assistance.  They have helped several horse groups in the past.  Please
feel free to drop Keith and Cindy Collins as people who recommended you
contact them.  CC
