The nerve of some people, to be where they shouldn't and then tell you how to act. I've ran into weirdly entitled horse people several times on hiking trails. For whatever reason horses have right of way over hikers and I've had so many horse people exercise that when it's been bad for me (and them). One lady tried to get me to stand by the edge instead of the mountainside because drops made her horse nervous. Like motherfucker, this whole trail is drops. Walk your horse if you brought the wrong one for the job. I'm not falling 200 ft so you can pretend to be a cowboy. Also, trudging through horseshit sucks. /rant
This is basically how the USA started.
If its their land, man, I get it. Horses are super skidish. If its a private horse trail, they have the right of way. If they're anywhere off that trail, they're just being entitled.
I'm sure private horse trails exist but I'm talking about public land where horses do have the right of way. The right of way goes Horse-pedestrian-bike. Sometimes people will cede their right of way, as to not force other trail users into dangerous positions. Trail riders almost never do. Mule and horsepackers often will, just not usually the purely recreational riders. I'm not saying anyone is doing anything illegal, but at the same time we shouldn't let the law get in the way of morality. Well trained horses aren't skittish. Well trained dogs aren't reactive. Well trained animals are rarely the problem and it's not like I'm going to blame horses for their riders' lack of control.
