Give me bikes over horses every day. Not sure exactly why hiking in a bit of horseshit, here and there, bothers me so much. I think it mostly is that I imagine that when you are on a horse you are much higher off the trail and don't have to deal with the stink your horse created.
- davidw 9y agoI'm happy to share, and happy for local decision makers to decide which users should get access to which trails. There are some that even hikers damage, let alone adding bikes and horses. Others are fine for everyone. Some places (not in Wilderness areas) should have some room for ATV people and so on. I guess besides being a housing YIMBY, I'm a trail YIMBY too.
- mikestew 9y agoThe shit is the least of it, as horses will pound a trail to dust. How anyone argues with a straight face that MTBs are more impactful than horses is beyond my comprehension.
- njarboe 9y agoYes. If you are hiking behind someone, lots of dust. Horse shit in the dust. Not very pleasant. In conditions like that I hope for a little rain.
