A good authority on horse poop is Cycla Allison,Ph.D

She presented a program "The Real Poop: A  Discussion of Horse Manure on Trails" at the Southeastern Trails Equestrian Conference(SETC) , July,2004.

To read her entire presentation, go to http://www.californiastatehorsemen.com/ENVIRO-poop.htm. You can also purchase the pamplet from the Equestrian Land Conservation Resource website at (www.elcr.org)

To summarize,

 "while e.coli from a number of species,including humans,can cause intestinal disease under certain conditions,those of equine origin have not been shown to do this"
