Was it fatigue again? The sir names have me wondering although that was my initial thought.

Why'd y'all teach them how to ride horses?


100% for sure they aren’t on horses. They’d get bucked off in a sec lol.

They’re on foot or at most on someone’s 4-wheeler acting an arse.



I met my wife (no pics) at a trail ride.

As long as it involves a .700 nitro express or better, I’m all for a game of trail shootout

Trail rides are getting banned or heavily regulated in a lot of places. Why? Hood rats and ghetto. We had trail rides in our parish all the time, never with any issues other than an occasional DUI on someone heading home. But, the trail rides went from being an event for horseback riding clubs to a business - a way for some sketchy promoter to make money.

Grand Cane had a nearby trail ride a few years ago - tickets were $20-$40. The trail ride had been an annual, issue free event. But, with the open sale of tickets and non-trail ride stuff (rap concert, twerking, etc). a different crowd showed up. They were around 8000 strong, on land with a capacity of 1500 or so. So, people parked all along the road and all over Grand Cane. People took shits and pissed in people's yards. It was a huge shite show. So, the parish regulated.

Had a post-regulation trail ride down from my house about 2 miles. A huge money grab that was a fail. The big convenience/truck stop store closed during the event. Deputies were all up and down the road. No parking on the road was strictly enforced. Event capacity was enforced by the Sheriff deputies at the gate of the property. With those restrictions, many went back to Shreveport. They have not had another event since.

Ghetto ruins everything. The man who set up the one near where I live is an older rancher, a great guy. But, his daughter moved to Houston, went ghetto, and got involved in turning a trail ride into some fast money event.

The real trail riders are definitely on horses. There used to be NO ATV, motorcycles, etc. I know some traditional trail riders who no longer trail ride due to safety issues (and not wanting to be around ghetto).
