The rule is thus: ‘Turn the water off, scoop your poop, and have nothing but rain, down the drain.’

McIntosh came up with a simple and catchy etiquette initiative that encourages horse owners to prevent manure piles from running into the water system. While horse manure may be considered organic, experts warn that it creates an environmental hazard, especially when it reaches rivers, creeks and eventually the ocean. The bacteria found in horse waste can lead to serious health problems for swimmers and marine life.

To help large stables stay open and navigate potential legal proceedings, McIntosh assembled an advisory board from legal, political, equestrian, and agricultural experts and launched his nonprofit Earth-Riders with a pledge to “transform horses from pollution villain to climate change ally.” Among his clients were three stables in San Juan Capistrano in southern Orange County, and in Rancho Murietta in Sacramento County.
The reason horse manure management has become an issue in recent years, he said, is because owners keep their horses at large stables instead of in their backyards. Some of the stables are designed to keep hundreds of horses, accumulating large amounts of manure that must be properly disposed.
