GGNRA reveals it priorities

A recent letter (and reply) in the Half Moon Bay Review, concerning the GGNRA's recent anti-dog policies, (here's a recent and fairly balanced article) is revealing.  The GGNRA reply says
The decisions to temporarily permit or restrict areas for dogs until the Dog Management Plan is complete were based primarily on conversations with the equestrian community regarding conflicts between horses and dogs...
I'm sorry, I have no issues with the local equestrian community, indeed, some of my close friends are equestrians :-) , but why the heck do equestrians take the primary lead in determining dog policy???  That's even more insane that the actual dog policies.

You can rest assured that there are many many more dog owners that horse owners.  But, apparently, the horse owners, who are much more organized, have figured out which government officials to bribe with campaign donations.
