Park regulations must be obeyed at all times. Stay behind the Trail Boss and in front of the Drag Rider at all times. These persons shall be identified to the group before the ride. No horses will move out until all riders are mounted. If your horse or mule is a known kicker tie a red ribbon on its tail as a warning.
All horses are capable of kicking when pressured.
Keep your distance to avoid problems. A good rule of thumb is to be able to see the heels of the horse in front of you. Do not lag behind a large distance. From one to four horse lengths is normal. More distance makes it difficult for the trail boss to keep track of riders and could cause you to lose the group by making a wrong turn.
