Equestrians: Please clean up after your horses on multi-use trails

[Anonymous]

Equestrians, please clean up after your horses after they leave manure on multi-use trails. We don't poop in the middle of them and leave it there. Thank you for observing "leave no trace" principles.

How exactly do you suggest they do that?

How? Most of the time you don't even know the horse is pooping as it walks. It's not like walking a dog.

They stop, pick up the manure, and bury it at least 6 inches deep 20-feet off the trail.

Or they put a diaper or bag on the poop-end of the horse.

Just look back regularly.

I don't even ride but, think this is ridiculous. Just walk around it. It isn't small like dog poop!

You don't ride, clearly.

Where would they tie up the horse?

Stop, dismount, tie the horse, find a shovel. Got it.

How about you look down regularly.

Truly one of the dumber things I've seen on DCUM, which is really saying something.

Horses are herbivores so their poop is way different than a dog’s. It’ll turn to straw in no time.

It actually annoys me too. I will push my dog poop off a trail in the woods with a stick. But horse poop just gets left behind.

I run on horse trails, and I have never once stepped in horse poo, but I often come home with dog poo in my shoe. You can see and avoid a horse turd, and it doesn’t stink in the same way, either. Dog poo is a different animal. And I have dogs and not horses. Let the horse people be.
