The use of all those ribbons is OK if everyone else riding knows what they
are for. I have never heard of using green or yellow ribbons and I wouldn't
have known what you were tring to tell me if I saw one. My rule of thumb is
NOT TO run up behind ANY horse I don't know. A horse who is very well
behaved can have a bad day and kick at any time. I feel it is safer for
both riders and horses to keep your distance all the time.
