RE: [RC] LTE - Tucson Citizen this morning - Ranelle RubinI can totally see that as a viable solution when riding through a neighborhood if it is typically pristine in that sense. It sounded like this guy was a mountain biker who objected to going around horse poop... Ranelle 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.

It was kindof a pain in the butt to get off and clean up every time, but it was better than trailering to the trail head 2 blocks away! Or worse, having the barn closed down because of grumpy horse-hating neighbors. Most of the neighbors emptied the buckets of manure into their gardens, but there were some that did not. So every once in a while, someone from the barn would drive around and empty the buckets into the truck & take it home. It really was the only way to keep everyone happy. Us riders, for not having to trailer to the beach 2 blocks away, and the neighbors, for not having to look at poops in their road. jamie --- Ranelle Rubin <RanelleR@xxxxxxx> wrote: 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....

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. Barbara
