land use

Today, I learned of an interesting business coming to town: Wild Star Stables plans to build a 22-stall horse barn at 401 Sandy Valley Road. From their website, it sounds as though they intend to use the Lowell Woods as an area to ride horses. I know very little about this, but have a hard time imagining how horses would navigate the trails in Lowell woods. I don't want to imagine how such a use would require me to carry a shovel with me the next time my family goes for a walk in the woods...
