Pockmarked trails a problem?

Hello- Here in NJ where the horse is the state animal, access to public land
is increasingly restricted to just hikers or bikers. In a place where
development is rampant, this situation is very distressing and there is no
sympathy or understanding on the part of government officials.(I'm doing what
I can here- writing letters and supporting the horse council and trail clubs)
I wonder about
the hikers and bikers- do they expect a pristine, level, manicured pathway ?
Is the complaint against horses based on pockmarked trails? I think ruts
caused by bikes are just as bad if not worse becasue they can form channels
for water which can erode a path. Can anyone explain what the real gripe
against horses on trails is? Thanks-Amy
