This is someone’s way of eliminating horseback riding. Wrong just wrong.

Horse poop is chewed up grass! Entirely different from dog poop. Horse poop is used for manure and contains no animal products. It breaks down by itself.

I am vehemently AGAINST reclasifying horses as pets. That change is beyond reprehensible, irresponsible and dimwitted. Whoever came up with that hair-brained idea needs to seek employment elsewhere. The idea is just beyond comprehension.

Horses are LIVESTOCK. They are working animals.

Horses are good for the environment. Do not call them Pets!

Many of the horse and property owners are the ones that gave up part of their property for the Larry‘s got trail to go through their property. So all these trail users would not have this trail if it wasn’t for horse property owners giving a part of their property for the trail.

I am adamantly opposed to classifying horses as pets and requiring dog on leash on trails.

Really this is another fill in the rural areas with city life bill. Take the county side away, take our freedom! Reject this!

Let's focus on what has worked already rather than regulating in a way that would render these trails off limits to equestrians. We can all learn to share in ways that works for everyone.

horses are livestock and should NEVER be classified as pets. Pets in the house with people.

Requiring equestrians to bag and remove manure from trails is as asinine as it gets, not to mention highly impractical and dangerous for the rider as well.as other trail users. I dont know where this ridiculous idea came from bit it needs to crawl back there and go away. there are other ways to deal with manure on trails, like asking riders to kick it off. Now, if you could come up.with a way to keep dog owners from leaving poop filled bags in the woods that would be terrific.

Horse poop is good for the vegetation! Most of us are good folks and kick it off the trail... Dogs on a leash with a horse? are you trying to get a horse to trip and break a leg or kill a rider... Seriously?
