Out west, most of the gates we found
on rides were barbed wire cowboy gates, that often took TWO people to open them
because they were strung so tight, and the wire loop was hard to get off over
the post. Hardly any horse friendly gates that you could stay mounted....but I
guess you are welcome to try......
