Water Works Director David Paris said horse ridership - and horse waste - have increased over the years around the regions water supply. He said the lake is fragile, and water quality has decreased and blooms of blue-green algae have become more frequent. Paris said he doesnt have hard scientific data about the lake readily available. But in the 40 years hes worked with Water Works, he said hes seen the water quality go down. Factors include road salt, climate change and nutrient loading, he said. So......there is an increase in algae blooms.....which COULD be caused by horse droppings......or caused by one of many other things......so the answer is to just ban horses.....even though it is just speculation.....because admittedly there is no hard scientific data....
