The spectacle of horse and rider on San Francisco's famous span slowed traffic at 6:20 p.m. The rider was heading from Marin to San Francisco in the sidewalk when the CHP caught up to him. "We had him turn around and exit the bridge, and he had someone pick him up with a trailer," said bridge district Sgt. Bill Sangregory. The CHP said the horse posed a danger to pedestrians and bicyclists who use the walkway and was a distraction to drivers. It's not the first time someone tried to use the bridge as a horse trail. "We had a guy try to get on with a horse and donkey a few years back," Sangregory said. - Suzanne Espinosa Solis ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2009 SF Chronicle =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
