SHARED USE TRAIL
THE COURSE IS ON A SHARED USE TRAIL WITH HORSES. REMEMBER HORSES CAN EASILY BE SCARED BY RUNNERS AND IT IS ALWAYS BEST FOR YOUR AND THE RIDERS SAFETY TO APPROACH SLOWLY AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE RIDER. THEY WILL TYPICALLY GIVE YOU GUIDANCE AS TO HOW COMFORTABLE THE HORSE IS WITH PEDESTRIANS. IN MOST CASES THIS INTERACTION WILL LAST A FEW SECONDS, BUT IF A VERY TIMID HORSE YOU MAY NEED TO WAIT FOR THE HORSE TO PASS. THANK YOU FOR BEING RESPECTFUL TO ALL INVOLVED.
