    ...'Private way! Only for residents and riders' In English that would probably be enough. But in German we would have also to mention female residents and also female riders as well. And of course all those who are not gender-specific. Not to mention the gender of the horse :(( Holy shit :confused: :laugh:

      Surely, you are kidding. In US sign might read "No Trespassing! Violators will be prosecuted!"

            Give me an idea... the one who is staying near or the one who is traveling with the horse. In case of that the sign becomes really big ;P :laugh:

                In the UK there's that law/rule which states that you have to allow hikers to cross your land, yes? Equestrians as well?

                  Don't you pay extra for that?

                  I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

                            No. However we do have a VAST network of public footpaths and bridleways, which must be open at all times (you can apply for a temporary closure for maintenance / safety works). But these date back typically hundreds of years, and are (generally) well established. Occasionally they get missed off maps, then legal searches miss them, and people end up buying a property that has a right of way through the kitchen (yes, that's literally happened). Then there are all sorts of legal wrangles of course. In parts of the UK there is a "right to roam" which grants general access to roam across wild areas, but there is of course always the obligation not to cause damage to the environment, livestock or crops. However it's not illegal to go onto someone else's property; "trespass" is the offence of not leaving when requested to do so. In practice though we respect property and if it's private, we leave well alone. Even though we're unlikely to be shot even if we do trespass, and a notice stating that "trespassers will be shot" could well land the landowner up in court, as it's pre-meditated excessive force.

                              But in many languages the words are always gender specific.

                                I saw a sign in South Africa years ago that said: "Trepassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.".

                                  My wife is a Nurse. At the hospital, they have to ask for Male, Female, Gay, and Transgender. Political Correctness sucks. People should not be so "touchy" about who they are. I am pretty sure this all started in Washington D.C. or California, take your pick. Speaking of transgender, The Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge against a State law prohibiting transgender biologically male athletes from competing in women's sporting events. It isn't fair for someone with a male body, which has more physical strength competing with someone without. It should be a level playing field.

                                    To be fair in the UK one is probably going to have to borrow a gun even before one could consider that. In the US there is probably one under the rock next to the sign.

                                        Difficult to google for this but presumably in Germany it appears to be called 'Betretungsrecht'. Which, as I read it, means they can walk there if it is not cultivated land. So unless under cultivation they can walk there whether there is a sign or not?

                                          To be fair in the UK one is probably going to have to borrow a gun even before one could consider that. In the US there is probably one under the rock next to the sign.

                                          We've over 600,000 firearms in the UK; over 2 million including shotguns. We just don't take them to the supermarket or coffee shop with us... :laugh:
