Equestrian Ride Etiquette
By Catherine Zieman, August 28, 2009
1) Leave one horse’s length between horses; two if trotting.
2) Pass on the left at a reduced speed.
3) On a hill, if a rider needs to pass you, face your horse downhill.
4) Do not ride side-by-side unless the path is wide enough to keep horses from nipping each other.
5) When allowing the horses to drink in a stream, wait until all horses have finished their drink before riding away.
6) Respect private property. Stay off the lawns and out of planted fields.
7) Your guides will appreciate a gratuity. Tips can be up to 10%
