This is horseshit!

I guess completely ruining Busieck is not enough for our equine riding friends.  Now they are after Sac.  I saw a group of 5 or 6 Sunday and a little fresh "evidence" this morning.

What am I missing here?  The sign at Sac clearly says no horses.
Sec. 82-1.  Park rules generally.
(a)   Adoption; prohibited acts.  Those rules and regulations adopted by the public park board of the city on March 16, 1971, relating to conduct within the parks of the city under the control and operation of the Springfield/Greene County park board are hereby adopted and approved by the city council, which rules and regulations read as follows:

t.   Allow cattle or horses to be driven through, run loose, be staked out, or in any other way to be in a park except in such an area as designated for showing or riding such animals.

Well I won't feel too bad about scaring the "shit" out of those horses when I come up on them at Sac. If somebody gets bucked I guess bikers will not be to blame eh?

yeah that's bullshit. me and about 20 mountain bike friends (including the springfield mafia) built that park when we rec'd it like it was the trail of tears to Oklahoma because the Springfield Park Board wanted us out of Ritter Springs. 12 years later we're still dodging thorns. so we don't need the horse shit too.

no horses allowed.

Skip the belt drive is so silent that I can hunt wild game while riding. I would have to use the bell to scare them.

I turned them in to Lori Tack. The rangers are now on the case.
