Good point Nancy. I just hate horse packers tying horses to trees which cause the ground to be dug up around the trees. They have other ways to tie the horses up for the night. Locally, they put up a metal pipe hitching rack for the horses at one of the lakes I go to some and it seems to be the one the local community college takes students in the Equine program, Pack Station Management degree program. My thougths a few years ago before that was installed, great, teaching bad practices to future packers. The area seems to have recovered some from the misuse of a few years ago.
