Comment on When Horses replace electric is the circle complete?
WashedOver@lemmy.ca 11 months agoI wish this was the case at my local park. It is surrounded by horse stables and owners. There’s a lot of horse traffic being one of the local rural areas with horses. The local roads have flashing signs to warn of horses on the road and to slow down. There’s even a pub further up with a small paddock out front for owners to tie up their horses while they go in for a pint.
I would think just flicking the dog poop off the trail would be better for the environment than plastic bags left everywhere but in the times above when car first came around, our cites were covered in horsesh!t and in some cases bloated horse carcasses waiting to be disposed of. In many respects we’ve come a long ways since.

It depends on how much poop is in a specific area. There is a gradient. Like a little bit isn’t bad, but one you start getting piles it can be pretty bad for the area if they aren’t allowed to breakdown or aren’t removed.
