[pct-l] Fw: Horse etiquette

[Reinhold Metzger]

Good point Jeff.
However, you see some pretty strange looking, on the trail to long, 
hikers on the trail and some of them don't  look anywhere close to human.
Take Switchback for instance....when Switchback comes strutting down the 
trail in his black lingerie, fuzzy pink camp slippers, ankle length 
overcoat, cow bells, solar powered fan on his head and reflector tape 
raped raped all around him....no amount of talking will convince the 
horse that what it is seeing is human.

I've been told to not only go downhill so horses can pass on the uphill 
side, but to start talking to the rider when they're within 50' or so.
This lets the horse know it's a human being...
