As far as "elitist" goes I think it is the other way around.  I don't
hold anything against horses or their riders but I have gotten on
several occasions the feel from packers that as a hiker I was somehow
subpar or a nuisance to them.   Has anyone else felt that way?

It's simply part of the wilderness experience.  On my entire thru hike I

never had to "wade through" it, simply step over or around it.  I'm just

glad the equestrians have the same opportunity to enjoy the trail and
the 
beauty of the back country as we do.  I'd hate to have hikers listed as 
"elitist snobs" who own the trail.

I think "offensive" is a relative term. I don't really care what's in
it,
whether it's horse poo or dog poo or people poo. It's offensive to me to
have to wade through poo on the trail - or worse, kick it aside in the
only
good campsite around. (The only exception to this is wild animal
scat).................
