-
If a landowner approaches you while you are riding, be courteous. If he
is disturbed about something, assure him that the LKTA will look into it.
Report same to the Public Relations Committee.
-
Do not leave the marked path. Permission is given only for
trails marked with LKTA markers.
-
Keep to the extreme edge of all lawns and planted or plowed fields.
"Extreme edge" means single file and as far off the field as a horse can move.
This is one of the most important rules to follow.
-
If you see or cause damage to property, try to fix it (at least
temporarily). Tell the landowner or an officer of the LKTA as soon as you get
home.
-
Do not litter!
-
Leaders should use a raised arm signal to tell riders behind to stop or
change to a slower gait.
-
Move slowly when riding near residences or passing by barnyards and
pastures holding livestock.
Ground conditions in the spring may require riders to stay off certain
areas of the trail. Do not cause damage to lawns or ground before and after
jumps.
All LKTA trails are closed during deer hunting season. (First Monday
after Nov. 15 to first Tuesday after Dec. 7).
Permission has been granted to LKTA members for trail clearing and
horseback riding only
- not for skiing, trail bikes, snowmobiles or
other.
Keep to the shoulder of public highways, and always ride with the
traffic.*
* Riding in the same direction as the traffic is a New York State Law.
