Several years ago in one of the island newspapers we had read an article about this very thing.....allowing horses on beaches. There was to have been a law forbidding this on 7 Mile beach. What happened....did it not go thru, or is it just not enforced?
We have watched horses "take a dump" and the kid riding the horse gets off, digs a big hole in the sand and buries it.
The hookworms then crawl to the surface and some unsuspecting "host" steps in it and they are infected. It makes us furious anytime we have seen it. What a filthy practice where there is a constant stream of people walking. After going thru what my hubby did, my blood boils even thinking about it.
