Horses are live stock.
Stopping everytime a horse takes a poop isn't really safe in some situations...such as steep narrow trails having to pass hikers or bikers...as they are supposed to get off the trail for live stock. Also horses poop...just like other game animals. It's life...

As a rider, I find this proposal completely irrational and unworkable. Horses are livestock, large grazers, and it is not physically possible to pick up manure(which is just natural fertilizer) while riding. This reclassification would also open a huge can of worms regarding zoning, taxes, and effectively ban horses from all trails.

It is not feacible for riders of horses to bag out manure. Horse manure is decomposed hay, not byproducts like what dogs eat.

Horses are livestock not pets such as cats and dogs. Horses and horse back riding bring millions of dollars into the economy. Please do not punish people who choose horses for their form of recreation.

What an inane animal hate activist attack against citizens who happen to be horse owners and riders.

Horses have been in Central Oregon trails decades before the first mountain bike and in flux of dog park flunk outs.

Mounting from the ground to collect manure would make it impossible for some riders to use the trails.

Horse manure, while larger, is less offensive smelling than meat-eating dog poop. Due to it being grass and grain based, it breaks down quickly in the environment. Some horses poop several times on an hour ride, and to carry that with us back out would be very heavy abs extremely awkward. Also some horses do not stand well when being mounted, or the horse could more easily get away from its rider if they are dismounted, causing the tremendous safety hazard of a loose horse running blindly down the trail.

Dangerous to ride a horse holding a
leashed dog. Manure dries& crumbles. Many people cannot mount from the ground. So getting off to bag manure is impossible for some riders who need a mounting step to get back on. This would most likely prevent seniors from riding trails with this ridiculous rule. Major discrimination.

Horses and horseback riding are part of Central Oregon’s cultural heritage. Please look out for traditional uses of land in the face of this urban exodus.
