Columbia Horseback riding ordinance (§ 17-97)

It shall be unlawful for any person in a park to ride a horse, except on designated bridle trails. Where permitted, horses shall be thoroughly broken and properly restrained, and ridden with due care, and shall not be allowed to graze or go unattended, nor shall they be hitched to any rock, tree or shrub. It shall be unlawful to allow a horse to defecate upon any city trail or in any city park. It is a specific defense to a charge of violating this section that the person charged immediately removed the deposit and properly disposed of it.
