Have to agree here. In the middle of a Forest we came across some barbed wire strung across a trail at the bottom of a fast downhill. Luckily no one hit it but it was at waist height and had been nailed between two trees. It was secure and we could not pull it down and draped some Branches over it to warn others. Contacted the forest ranger and they had caught the Culprit. A walker that did not like Horses messing up his walks. The ranger got the location from us and went out to clear the Wire.

Daft thing is that this was a long walk from anywhere and not many MTB's use this part of the Forest. It was mainly horses in this part so dread to think of the suffering it would have caused a horse and rider running into it.
