Danke Michael. There many folks that ride their horses around here. Heck the nearest business was a Guest Ranch, but it's been for sale for quite a while now. Around here as long as you pay attention you'd most likely have no problems. The main Critters one needs to watch for are Rattlesnakes <by the way - They Do NOT Always Rattle>. Other than that there are Bobcats, Coyotes and Mountain Lions in the area and if it's been a really dry summer Bears have been known to come down this far.
