I love tracking and sign cutting from the saddle. My horse looks where
she is going and I can concentrate on looking for signs. When conditions
for sign are good, I can track much faster on horseback than on foot.
Riding a perimeter trail is not containment but hasty searching, unless
conditions are excellent for preserving sign. When conditions for sign
are that good, riding a perimeter (trail or no trail) is sign cutting.
