[OSM-talk] Horse trails. Good examples?
Hi all, Are there good examples of horse trails and horse 'infrastructure' in OpenStreetMap data? Links please? What makes a well-mapped horse trail facility? Parking with horse trailer parking indicated? Blacksmith shop with horseshoe repair, alignment, rotation and balancing? Saloons (it's like a pub so it's probably already mapped) with hitching post, watering trough and poop and scoop bags? Are there renderings that include many or most items of interest to horse riders? Best regards, Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Are there renderings that include many or most items of interest to horse riders? Horse trails is an American term, OSM uses the British word bridleway. Bridleways are becoming increasingly mapped as part of the the process of mapping rights of way network. An example of bridleway can be seen here, although they are not hard to find on osm http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.7823/-2.8992 Other infrastructure I am not aware of, but thing such as parking do not need to be special for horse boxes, beyond lack of height limit bars. Saloons make me think of the wild west and whiskey and gunfights, do they still exist outside heritage places? It is certainly not uncommon to see horses at pubs, although I have never seen them tied up whilst the owner is inside, usually one stays outside and someone else get the drinks and brings them out. Country pubs will welcome horseriders in the same way they do walkers or cyclists and any pub will provide a bowl of water if asked, whether its for a horse or a dog.

Hi! Richard Weait wrote Are there good examples of horse trails and horse 'infrastructure' in OpenStreetMap data? Links please? What makes a well-mapped horse trail facility? Can you give a better description of your idea of what constitutes a horse trail facility? I don't think the term is self-explanatory. Richard Weait wrote Are there renderings that include many or most items of interest to horse riders? There is a whole map dedicated to the needs of horse riders (Central Europe). [1] It concentrates on suitable ways, obstacles, watering places and accomodations. Besides bridleways, there is more than 460 route relations of type=horse in Europe. They work the same way as hiking routes. In the wiki there is a rather extensive page on riding facilities and recommendations on how to map them.

An example from Iceland includes these bridleways and stables (two seperate areas, one in each municipality). The racetrack seems to be rendering incorrectly. http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/64.0789/-21.8358 Þann 22.12.2013 16:25, skrifaði Philip Barnes: On Sun, 2013-12-22 at 09:18 -0500, Richard Weait wrote: Hi all, Are there good examples of horse trails and horse 'infrastructure' in OpenStreetMap data?
