3) If you trail ride in the park, you must carry with you a "suitable device for the picking up, collection and proper sanitary disposal" of any manure dropped by your horse. Further, you must actually dismount, collect said manure, and dispose of it while maintaining control of your horse.
So... instead of letting a horse poop on a trail in the park, where the poop will quickly dry out and fertilize the soil, horseback riders have to collect said poop in some sort of (probably plastic) container and dump it in the trash, where it will be shipped to a landfill where it will be buried in an oxygen-free environment and left unable to decompose for the next 100 years? And the "while maintaining control of your horse" part... I can just see a room full of bureaucrats arguing about how to properly legislate that one.
And the "perturbation" clause is great. I think it would be perfectly fair...
if we were allowed to have the same law for human children. Why is my tiny dog barking when someone comes to the door that much more disruptive than the neighbor's young kids squealing at each other as they play tag in the backyard? Noise is noise...
