I would like to add to this to make sure you alert the rider/horse as far in advance as possible. They need an "on your left" too!

Club, Team,
A horse trainer and property owner has asked me to remind all of you that most of the trails off the power lines roads in Fletcher's Mill is private property. She acknowledges that most riders are respectful, but there was an unfortunate incident.
A rider was insulting to her, scared her horses (who got its leg injured), and could have caused serious harm to her student.
Whatever your opinion about private property, or horses, injury is not solution for anyone.
Always remember to give a wide berth to horses. They are wild animals. Especially if there are riders on them.
We have spent decades across this nation making peace between horse and bike and foot trail users. Let's not go backwards.
