Thinking of Bridle (not Bridal!) paths around/beside homes in the thread subject house,
is it as common in other states corfidites are from as it is in Colorado to have bridal paths ?

Commonly, out here, they are very frequently found on ranches of all sizes, but one real-common case is the medium-sized parcels/tracts , commonly "aliquot"-parts such as "The Southeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of the Southwest 1/4 of the Southeast quarter of Section 17, T 3N. R. 69W, of the 6th P.M." being, in a theoretical perfect section, that does not exist,of 640 acres on the ground, in this case being broken-up in the aliquot description into 2.5 acres, a very common mini-ranchette parcel to be found in barely-rural fringe parcels to towns out here in Colorado, that such parcels are not only common out there (horse owners would know too) ?

Moreover, do they commonly have bridle paths bounding one or more legs of the tract edges ? Out here, such bridle paths are commonly, among the more thoughtful gentry, fringed with dual fences, set 6 - 10 feet
apart as, in fact bridle paths, often with either deeded easement for riding, or by common usage in excess of the local statute of limitations, de facto legal prescriptive easement. Curious...

Stated as straight-forward as I can re-think the Q, do other states you guys are familiar with have dual-fence riding paths between a lot of one-horse ranchettes ? Sure do in
horse-country Douglas County here.
