Re: [RC] LTE - Tucson Citizen this morning - Barbara McCrary

Why would it be necessary to go AROUND horse poop; why not just ride through it? It shouldn't splatter like cow poop does. Now there's something a bicyclist could REALLY complain about. :-))

I 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...

In the neighborhood I used to ride in, the neighbors all had little scoopers & buckets in front of their houses. 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.

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....

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.
