[pct-l] Donna's horse encounter tips

[Lonetrail at aol.com (Lonetrail@aol.com)]

Hey
 
Have any of you ever encountered outfitters leaving their pack stock return  
loose to their Stables in the High Sierras. There will be a lead horse 
rounding  up the others and driving then along the trail. Now what do you do when 
about a  dozen horses are running right at you or from the back at full speed. 
This is  usually at twilight but you can see the white of the horses eyes and 
the fogging  of their breath as they pass. This would be a great video shot. I 
believe they  are politer then the cow hands. My question would be what happens 
on a  narrow trail?
 
I absolutely did nothing. They all went around me. With the leader keeping  
then close to the trail.
