Safety tips for sharing the Confederation Trail
If you meet a horse while walking or cycling on the Confederation Trail, move to the right and greet the rider in a friendly, relaxed tone. Make sure pets are on a leash, avoid making sudden movements or loud noises. When approaching a horse, leave as much room as possible, call out and wait for the rider to acknowledge you.
