"Share the road" has a different meaning in the City of San Dimas. We are all reminded often to share the road with bicycles and motorcycles but when you see the yellow horse crossing signs and the white rail fencing along side the city streets you may be sharing the road with horses. San Dimas has miles of multi use trails that are used by horseback riders. These multi use trails are bordered by white rail fencing and some cross walks are equipped with crossing light buttons that are at rider high level.  Please use good judgment when you share the road with the horses of San Dimas. Equestrians are a part of our Western Heritage in the wonderful City of San Dimas.
