User's notes
In grassy woodland at start of informal track; horse dung not from a wild horse I assume; I assume the horse was written in the grassy woodland a couple of weeks ago judged by the age of the dung. There were problems with horses - or should I say horse riders - years ago when the gate at the bottom of Oldfields Lane was open.

Sorry Waltraud. As you said, it is not from a wild horse. We can't record domestic horses as Brumbies. People ride horses in a number of our nature reserves, and we don't record them as Brumbies. Examples are Urambi Hills and along the Murrumbidgee River on the Bicentennial trail. I’ve placed a comment because the “Inconclusive” utility is crashing.

I confirmed as horse just to stop Carbon identifying it as pig, and CNM then sending me an email.

The only reason I record the horse poo is to convince PCS to keep the gate shut.

okay https://canberra.naturemapr.org/users/8083, I'll use the CNM links in a letter to PCS / CNPnorth and remove the records once I receive an acknowledgement for my letter (which I hope will take less than a year).
