Napa County faced this when they tried to turn the Napa Horsemen's Association property into development- we all rose up with petitions, letters, and attendance at city council meetings. You have to rally the troops! Keep it up- we're all behind you! (and if you have a petition started, post it to your blog so we can all sign it and pass it around!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04215573219695094014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940575797908189714.post-74284194293014701892012-09-18T14:01:45.611-07:002012-09-18T14:01:45.611-07:00We see this same disdain towards horseback riders ...We see this same disdain towards horseback riders even in the wilderness trails that equestrian clubs create and maintain. Without people on horseback carrying chain saws and the like, many of the trails would be gone due to winter storms, fallen trees and growing brush, but hikers don't like to have to step around the horse poop. Imagine that!! This kind of thing really gets my dander up. Without a strong showing of like-minded people writing to their legislators, we are very likely to lose this battle eventually. I hope that is not the case, because if so, everyone will be on the losing end of something that was once wonderful...and rightfully ours. I wish you well and the best of luck!!C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940575797908189714.post-30485844720719276162012-08-04T09:18:28.794-07:002012-08-04T09:18:28.794-07:00That is awful.

I recently met a dog walker who literally cursed me for riding on a trail that he regularly used-- (horses are permitted on this trail--as are dogs). I couldn't believe it.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940575797908189714.post-24516347617988715902012-07-06T18:32:56.774-07:002012-07-06T18:32:56.774-07:00So frustrating and sad!!

Holy cow. I've always known that people are naturally focused on themselves and their own needs, but...<br /><br />I'm seeing this type of problem everywhere. Horses require a lot of space, and when cities start getting crowded, people seek out space. Next thing you know, the horse facilities and trails are inundated with people doing other activities, many of which don't mesh well with horses, especially green ones. I feel like, as a horse owner, any space I move to is only good for about 10 years before people find me and ruin the place.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3940575797908189714.post-18190063503232820132012-07-04T07:53:06.659-07:002012-07-04T07:53:06.659-07:00I second Shirley's comment.
