I am on the board of the Minnesota Horse Council, and our Trails committee
is fighting the same thing from the Federal Govt. They want to require all
horse trails thru State Parks & National Forests to be at least 12-16 feet
wide. This really bothers our users -- they say if the trail is that wide,
they might as well ride their horse down a gravel road! It spoils the
whole effect of riding thru the woods when you're on a trail wide enough
for 2 cars to pass on it.
Guess dumb ideas can come from Federal, State, or even Local
government bodies!
