Re: [RC] Fw: What will they think of next - Barbara McCrary

I guess I just can't get too excited about feeling sorry for people who
can't tolerate horse droppings.  It's pathetic how far from reality part of
our society has become.

A friend of mine was a Trail manager for the Mount Hood Wilderness
before he retired.  He was telling me that horses tend to drop their
load within the first couple of miles.  That is why they try to have
separate trailheads for hikers and equestrians that are at least two
mile apart.

I suppose it could be just a myth.  When my guy is nervous on a
unfamiliar trail, he will lighten his load  near the start of a ride.
That does not happen at an endurance ride.  He is too busy worrying
about the other horses.
