It is not "normal use" for 120+ horses to use a trail, perhaps multiple

No I don't mean that it is okay to tear up a park; on the contrary, I think
too many people who don't know anything move in to an equestrian community and
ruin it for the rest of us who won't even go for that amble until the footing is
amenable. It bothers me that so many people who move into our area think they
should move here for the "lifestyle' but then proceed to tear apart the
lifestyle and take up habits that ruin it for the rest of the people.
We don't have 120 people trouncing through the park
when it is muddy - perhaps a half a dozen yayhoos - but WAY more bikers who
think it is fun or cool or something to make those huge tire divets.
sigh !
