Horse Poop

I'm not a big horseperson.  By that I mean I've never really wanted to own one.  I love horses, though, and appreciate their majestic beauty. I've ridden horses several times. However, as a hiker, I'm not especially fond of horse poop.  Yesterday there must have been a big equestrian event on the Grand View Trail; and while I have nothing against horseback riders, I wish there was some way for them to clean up the fecal mess their mounts leave behind.  I know that's an unreasonable expectation, but we had a pretty crappy hike this morning because of them.
