Sure, but do you want to ride through it or step in it? Either way, you’re dealing with shit. Everyone should have to clean up after themselves. Even humans are supposed to pack out their own shit when they go hiking or camping.
You’re asking me if I want to step in horse poop? Sorry, I thought that was rhetorical. Of course not, but as I just explained, I also don’t find it offensive. It’s just not a big deal, unless I’m wearing nice shoes and pants.
What? Most people seem to agree that horse poop isn’t nearly as offensive as dog. In my experience, the only people who disagree are from the suburbs and have never been around horses or horse poop.
This is a great example of what OP was describing in their last paragraph:
There’s always someone bitching (justifiably or not) about someone else’s conveyance. Motorcyclists are universally loathed, but they’re not much worse than electric trail bikes, which are not much worse than electric mountain bikes, which are not much worse than mountain bikes… it really seems to boil down only to whether or not it’s your hobby.
To be fair, poop from herbivores isn’t as much of a health issue as poop from omnivores and carnivores. And it also doesn’t smell as bad, IMO.

Out the three options mentioned so far, horse would bother me the least. Depending on the situation it might not bother me at all, honestly.
You city folk are too sensitive.
That wasn’t the question.

good for you, keep it to yourself.

horse shit and cow shit do smell. fuck you, I grew up around stockyards, acting like it doesn’t smell is ridiculous.
I never said it doesn’t smell. I said the smell isn’t offensive.
It’s not as offensive, but it is still offensive.
It’s clearly subjective.
I don’t think having to navigate shit on a trail is subjective. Nobody wants to do it.

Huge difference in time to fall apart/be absorbed into the earth.
