Horseshoe Meadows

My concerns with this establishment are from my perspective as a neighbor. We have been here for over 26 years, this business has not. When we were a VERY rural area, horse riding around here was considered normal, and acceptable. Today, with the building of many subdivisions and businesses, it has become more of a traditional neighborhood, where things need to be a little different. Recently we have experienced riders riding their horses right through the middle of our front lawn. Turns out it was the children of the owner. I would think there would be a lot more respect for us as neighbors, especially as we have been here well before they came around. When the grass is wet in the springtime, the horseshoe imprints in the lawn are four to six inches deep. It takes a lot of work and time to restore the lawn. We find piles of horse manure in the middle of the driveway as the horses will do what horses will do. However, again I feel that with this area fast becoming much more residential, there would be some attention to this matter as well. I know there are bags that horses can wear to catch the poop as it falls. Just the other day, five or six horses got loose somehow, (presumably from the stables or the pens) and were running through the front and side yards again. Unbelievable amount of pock marks in the lawn as it had rained the two previous days. Seems there needs to be a whole lot more supervision in this business, and a whole lot more concern for the neighbors, those of us that have been here for a long time, and those that are moving in now. When the neighbor whos lawn also got trampled went to speak to the people at the facility, they told me the buildings were very dirty and unkempt. Not being serviced properly etc. That is very bad for the horses. The day after this incident, another horse got away from a very young rider, and was running loose again, the rider, saddle and blanket had somehow all come off the horse and it was running free. One of these days a wayward horse is going to be in the street and either get killed, or land up causing an accident that‘s going to hurt or kill someone. Seems a whole lot needs to change here.
