I
would
rate
this
lovely
park
5
stars,
but
for
ONE
MAJOR
POINT:
DANGEROUSLY
SELF-ENTITLED
BICYCLE
CYCLISTS.
For
most
horse
riders,
it
becomes
extremely
dangerous.
I
know
of
one
horse
who
was
sadly
put
down
after
a
cyclist
came
barreling
over
a
wooden
walkway
at
the
bottom
of
a
hill,
spooking
the
horse
and
resulting
in
the
horse
falling
into
the
river,
sustaining
internal
injuries
and
subsequently
DYING.
😢😭💔🐎🐴💫
The
saddest
part,
is
that
the
cyclist
didn't
even
slow
down
after
the
accident,
nor
did
they
look
back.
Authorities
never
found
out
who
the
person
was,
who
was
responsible
for
that
horse's
painful
fate.
The
person
who
carelessly,
shamelessly,
didn't
slow
down,
and
never
looked
back.
CYCLISTS,
you
can
do
better.
PLEASE
SLOW
DOWN
NEAR
HORSES.
🙏❤🐴🐎
Make
way
for
others,
and
share
the
trail.
This
is
not
a
bicycle
park--careening
down
hills
may
thrill,
but
it
can
also
kill
a
horse.
Fellow
pedestrians,
we
must
not
contribute
to
the
problem
by
giving
right-of-way
to
the
cyclists.
It
is
the
CYCLISTS
who
are
now
so
self-absorbed
in
their
own
fun,
that
they
now
EXPECT
walkers
and
horses
to
make
way
for
them
as
they
jet
down
the
conservation
area's
many,
many
hills.
Horses
have
the
right-of-way
✅
above
walkers,
with
walkers
above
cyclists.
In
practice,
however,
it
looks
to
be
the
complete
opposite.
Cyclists
barrel
through,
walking
people
make
way,
and
then
horses
are
made
to
wait
even
longer
for
their
own
safety.
SAFETY
IS
EVERYONE'S
RESPONSIBILITY!
That
said,
let's
all
enjoy
the
richness
that
this
gorgeous
land
has
to
offer!
Endless
trails,
loops,
streams,
hills
and
valleys,
deer
trails,
coyote,
phenomenal
variety
of
birds
including
wild
turkey,
vultures,
swallows,
jays,
woodpeckers,
hawks
and
the
very
occasional
owl.
Bunnies,
chipmunks,
and
squirrels,
galore!
This
gem-of-a-greenspace
where
Dundas-meets-Ancaster
and
Greenbelt-meets-Conservation
Authority
does
not
disappoint!
❤
(...except
where
horses
n
cyclists
are
concerned
😥💔)
