Be sure the rider you are passing is ready for you to go by. Always try to pass at a trot or slow canter. No galloping please . Announce when you want to slow down or speed up so people will be prepared for a change in gait. Offer assistance when needed.
Trails are unmarked, so please respect the ride leader.
Do not go on ahead if there is a turn or side trail. You may be lost a long time. Please let someone know if the pace is too fast, or if you are having difficulties. Slow down the pace when you notice tiring horses. Not all mounts are in endurance shape.
