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.

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.

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

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

Just look back regularly.

How about you look down regularly.

How exactly do you suggest they do that?

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

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

Where would they tie up the horse?

You don't ride, clearly.

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

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