Agreed. On those descents, just make sure that 1) you have a clear line of sight and 2) there is no one in front of you. Riding on a shared hiking/MTB/horse trail is a lot like riding on the road - the faster road users (mountain bikes -> cars) need to exercise care in not running the slower road users (hikers/horses -> bicycles) over.
