Re: [RC] LTE - Tucson Citizen This Morning - Mary Ann Spencer
However, there is a MAJOR difference between the
clean up from our horses droppings and the nasty stuff dogs put out, ie the
smell and the pastiness of it make it so it is difficult to clean off with a
hose. Horse manure seems to return to the dirt but dogdo seems to set up
like clay mud. Just IMHO.
I agree that we need to move our manure off of the trails, maybe not
at the time the horse drops it, but to move it on a regular basis
from the trails. I will say though, that you can accidentally step
in dog poop, only a complete idiot could say they didn't see the pile of
manure on the trail.

From a Tucson, Arizona paper. Boy this one could
be a = problem.........
Riders should clean up after
horses Generally, I am all for multiuse of our beautiful mountain
trails. But = as a cyclist, I have one gripe about horses. It is what
they leave = behind.We all must leave only footprints (or tire tracks) and
take only = pictures.Even dog owners clean up after their pets. Why is
it OK for a = horse to make a pile on a trail and the owner leave it?
Horse riders = should be required to clean up messes their animals make.-
