Re: re: manure at rides

["Duncan Fletcher" <dfletche@gte.net>]

Paper and plastics are also biodegradable. Plastic has a substantial
different time frame. Paper isn't all that different than hay - cellulose is
cellulose (actually the lignin content of hay may make it slower). As for
riding public land where you are prohibited, I know some golf courses on
public land that I would love to ride. But.

I can also be somewhat an anarchist in terms of attitude. But I also
understand the process. I can ride some prohibited areas and get away with
it. But I can guarantee you will not ride in an endurance ride in a
prohibited area. And that is not the ultimate solution. When push comes to
shove, I (and other horsemen) lose. I (along with others in your
organization) spend a great deal of time working to keep trails open. And
part of that is obeying the rules. Part of it is pointing out where the
rules may not have any signifcant difference to the goals of the land
manager. And part of it is getting other horsemen not to screw us all
because of their attitude.

Instead of an attitude, perhaps you should spend some time helping out Jerry
Fruth.
