Every mud patch I come across on the trails I ride is a pock-marked mass
of hoof-prints, with (occasionally) the odd tyre-track towards the edge
(it’s more-or-less impossible to cycle or walk through the state horses
leave muddy ground). I’ve never understood why hoof-prints 8" deep don’t
count, but a shallow indentation that happens to be from a tyre is
suddenly environmentally damaging errosion.
