Ann Shilling– Trails Contact


There are trail preservation regulations within the King County Comprehensive Plan that are there due to the diligent work of the founding members of the King County Executive Horse Council. Whenever your trails are threatened by development, you can apply to the County and the Developer of the land to preserve those trails. There are many examples in the County now of the success of equestrians preserving their local trails due to these regulations.  Join us to continue this vital work!

Washington State statutes that provide limits on equine activities liability:

RCW 4.24.210 shields landowners from liability from recreational users unless the landowner has knowingly done something dangerously negligent.

RCW 4.24.540 shields people offering  equestrian situations from liability unless they do something seriously negligent or purposefully injurious.
