[Ramonan]

I live near Ramona, California, hence my screen name.
There are almost more horses in this area than people.
Most people here know that: A. You slow down going by horses-especially if you pass them from the rear.
B. If you have a noisy motorcycle, you shut it off until the horse riders get by.

Occasionally, we get some fools up here from San Diego/Los Angeles megalopolis.

My horse was a Riverside (CA) Police Horse before I got him, and those things don't bother him. But, newer horses can be startled.
