Subject: [RC]   Horse Manure and Weeds

Can anyone direct me to the info posted a while back
on the study(s) of
horse manure and the spread of noxious weeds? I seem
to recall mention of a
study involving planting the seeds from horse manure
along a trail to see
what came up, and few, if any, invasive species
sprouted. I've been asked
for input by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department on
the potential for horses
to spread invasives, and I'd like to have some studies
to back up my
opinion. They're working on a new equestrian area,
and are deciding on any
potential restrictions on feed, etc.

Thanks,
Dawn Carrie, Texas
