Galveston: Horse manure still OK on Texas city’s beaches
Read full article: Galveston: Horse manure still OK on Texas city’s beachesGALVESTON, TX – City leaders in Galveston have turned down a proposal that would require horseback riders to pick up what their animals leave behind on the beach after equestrians argued that horse manure is harmless.

The council opted Thursday to keep the exclusion for horses but directed city staff to explore regulations for riding businesses or large groups of horses.
