If dog owners are required (with good reason) to pick up after their pets, why doesn’t the same rule apply to horse riders?

At least the horse **** rots away after a while. The foot-paths that get turned into quagmires by regular horse traffic are spoiled permanently.

Can horseriders see the damage and the dung from on high?

Have kept an eye on the local recycling site which was frequently filled with dumped industrial and business waste. After complaining to the Aberdeenshire Environmental Officer it was regularly cleared. That is not the answer – we must identify the culprits. Would CCT cameras be any help?

Horses using way marked paths around Tarland.Mutual respect between walkers and horse riders is key in access to all paths and this is highlighted in the Scottish Outdoor Access Trust leaflet and supported by The British Horse Society. Quote:PATHS AND TRACKSAccess on firm,well drained surfaces and wide paths or tracks causes few problems. On multi-use or shared routes be aware that some people are afrais of horses, so be cheery and polite. If an issue arises dismount if necessary, but give way to walkers, or find an alternative route.Consider the condition of any paths, tracks or fields before accessing them, and on an ongoing basis whilst you are using them. Please avoid muddy, wet or boggy ground (particularly in winter) and it’s useful to look behind you to make sure you’re not causing damage and take an alternative route if horse use is causing erosion.
