Nothing beats navigating mountain trails on horseback. As with hiking or camping, horseback riding on a trail involves some key dos and don'ts, which are designed to keep riders safe, and protect the nature around us.

1.  Riders should match their skill level to the temperament and ability of their horse. Less experienced horses and riders should ride behind more "trail-wise" horses and riders.
2.   Travel responsibly and stay on trails and other areas open to horse use.
3.   Ride single file to reduce trail damage.
4.   Don't cut switchbacks (a turn on a trail).
5.   Spread out in open country where there are no trails, rather than following in each other's footsteps. This riding method will disperse impact and avoid creating a new trail.
6.  Comply with all signs and respect barriers.
7.    go slow and never take a loose horse on the trail.
8.  never ride alone.  Always ride with a group.
