In reading the maps I find references to Lot numbers however I cannot find civic addresses or any other information regarding the location of these lots, their boundaries or what maps these lots are derived from.

In regards to the equestrian riding in these forests I fail to see why they are being so limited on what trails they are going to be allowed use of.

Also in regards to the manure bags, I find it to be quite an extreme requirement as horse manure dries and decomposes very quickly and the trail use of equestrian riders are not heavy enough to require them. Another issue with these bags is they are really meant to be used for carriage horses in urban areas and only when there is heavy equestrian traffic and in todays day and age is not an issue anywhere. These bags are not at all meant for mounted horseback as it impedes a horses performance at anything other than a slow walk and could pose a risk to horse and rider. This is especially true when traversing up and down hills where a walking pace is not possible.

Equestrian activities in the Uxbridge area has been going on for decades and I feel that this management plan has not taken this fact into serious consideration. I just hope that if it is pushed forward without modifications the plan does not expand into other trail systems in the future with the same policies in effect.
