[Mr_Cheeze]

Mr. Grape, you have the privelege of being informed by the omnipotent and quite handsome Mr. Cheeze that it is poor web etiquette to type everything in caps. It is considered "yelling."

yeah I have been TRYING to tell him that with my pictures in another thread

Problem in my town (Granby, MA) is that there is horse crap all over the roads. There are five horsefarms on my street alone. In the woods my MTB just roll over the stuff, but the road bike tires get stuck. I think if dog owners should have to clean up their animals feces, so should horse owners.

[Sylvan]

The problem is, if you're on the horse, you don't know what the back end is doing. And a horse can let go several times on one ride, whereas a dog may only have to go once, on their walk. Think about it- would you want to be forced to carry around gigantic bagfuls of steaming horse poo?
Just ride around the piles, and once they dry out, think of them as digested hay.
If this was on a "Rails to Trails" bikepath, I could see picking it up or moving it aside. But I don't think horses are generally *taken* on bikepaths like that, and you're probably not talking about that anyways.
It's natural, you're out in the woods, it's a byproduct of a natural transport. Sorry, but deal.

So which is worse: Horse poopy, or a trail covered in acorns? At least you can go around the horse ****.

Acrons are the direct work of Satan. ;D

[MTBSteve]

Baboon is right they are direct form Satan. When you run over them they fly up in your face.

Good point Sylan. Its only horseshite. Its mostly grass anyway. Let the horses crap. And I really don't think horsie diapers would be good for the environment. Horse shite is easy to see. And it isn't as sticky as other types.

Dog crap is much more of a problem. How many times have I had to use use a shite stick to scrape dog crap (I suppose it could be human feces, how would I really know? I'm not really an expert on crap...that's a lie, nobody know b.s. like Big Game) out of my knobbies.

But perhaps what really bothers all of us is that some horsebackers think their sheit don't stink and that we have to make accomodations for them, and sometimes it can feels as they don't make any accomdations for us. But most horsebackers are good people just like most mountainbikers.

So Let's share the trails and the love.
