I live in an equestrian community in Virginia and have a bridle path easement listed on my plot as well as the subdivision plat registered with the county. There is no other recorded record of this easement to be located and there are no terms or conditions for the easement listed on the documents that are recorded. The covenants for the subdivision state that the bridle path is for homeowners in the community but go no further in defining its conditions.
There are now several people in the community boarding horses and telling their boarders that they have free use of the bridal path in the community. This has raised concerns as to the liability that could placed on the homeowners that have these easements.
Is there any way to restrict access by non-homeowners to the easement (established in the late 60's) or to reduce/eliminate the liability of such activities?
thanks.....
