How To Improve Water Quality At Equestrian Facilities

Stewardship on horse property is a major opportunity and responsibility. These guides focus on caring for the land, managing manure, and giving practical solutions to horse owners on what can be done to help protect the environment. Whether an owner has one horse or operates a boarding facility, all equestrians play an important role in assuring that our watersheds are healthy and our creeks clean.

Marin County residents who keep horses on their property may order printed copies of these publications through MCSTOPPP. Shipping and handling are also included. Please send your name, address, City, Zip Code, Phone number, and e-mail address to:
