RE: [RC] LTE - Tucson Citizen this morning - Ranelle Rubin

oh bother!!
 
Why don't we all outfit our horses with those "poop bags" the city carriage horses use....then they can have compost piles at the trail heads that the city folks can avail themselves of for their roses....

What we truly and earnestly aspire to be, that in some sense we are. The mere aspiration, by changing the frame of mind, for the moment realizes itself.

Or, the handles could be longer and you could initiate the new sport of horse-apple polo......

The only solution I can think of is for riders to carry mini-lawn-rakes with very short handles, available at garden supply centers. The rider dismounts and rakes the pile off the trail into the brush, or whatever vegetation is alongside the trail.  I guess some people just aren't used to horse turds, but in my opinion, since horses are vegetarians, their turds smell a lot more acceptable than do dogs'. There is something about the scat of meat-eaters that is not very pleasant.
