Message: [QUOTE="oldguy, post: 728740, member: 16965"] When we first built on our current property I had a similar problem. Our 4 acres was the common horse trail into the state forest trails and in winter snowmobiles used it also. When we built I talked to a couple of horse riders and asked that they stay to the edge of the property away from the grass and trees I was planting. this worked with the majority except for 1 person who I found with her horse sunk 3 inches in the freshly seeded/watered lawn letting her horse eat the hay I had spread. Needless to say the next time she came thru I stopped her IDed her and issued her a citation for tresspassing (the ticket held up in court as I had the choice of who I allowed on my property) Then winter came and a whole new set of problems. I stopped the first group of snowmobiles and asked them to use the area where the horses had a trail. Their response was they would ride where they wanted to which I responded that they would be cited. I then closed off the access point into the yard that was the trail. they came back and asked me to remove the gate and I told them I would when they agreed to stay in the specified area and the first time they strayed it would be closed. Later that day I caught 3 of them running straight thru the area I had planted 400 pine seedlings their excuse was that the snow was better there and that is where they wanted to travel. My land has since then been closed to all snowmobiles vertually closing access to the state trails without trailering to the trail head. If someone would approach me and agree to my rules the trail would again be open on my terms. [/QUOTE]
