Hi Folks: This decision is based on a COMMERCIAL use not on individual horse use. The decision is quiet on the public's ability to use horses in a Wilderness Area. If fact it was not raised, in fact the Decision that is posted does not mention horse use at all.

 

Other than the use of the word horse by the poster. The Tevis has successfully petitioned for the right to pass thru the Granite Chief Wilderness Area in CA.

 

Just my thoughts and opinions.

 This Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision is very negative as to horse use in Wilderness areas. It involves commercial use, but you should be aware of the possible impact of this ruling on public use.

 

The last paragraph is a note from the anti-horse group (Wilderness Watch) that pushed the case.
