Lori/all, I had to laugh a little on my recent bp vacation, two nice ladies were out for a few hours on their horses, two bpers coming out, said something to them about the manure and such, I did not hear all that was said. I believe the bp was telling the women they should be picking up after their horses.
I see in some areas of the Sierra where horses have done quite a bit of damage to trails, in short sections. I do hate to see the long pack trains, I still smile and say hi to the packers, never know, may need their help sometime.
