Although postponed a final vote on the prohibition of riding on the beaches of Georgetown County, horses are not waiting for the second reading to say how County Council they feel.
Order opponents said they intend watch Tuesday meeting anyway.
Vice President of the Council Jerry Oakley said that the order has been pushed to give the Board members have more time to study the issue.
Sandy Hill, Club Saddle Georgetown, said she has organized a petition and know there is at least another circulating against potential law.
She said there is an effort to ban horse on the beach in the County of the end of the 1990s.
"We had to fight against that, and we won," she says. "I hope that we can stop this time.?
Horses are now prohibited ranges from 15 March to 15 September of each year, giving riders the beach about six months of the year.
But the County staff hear complaints about the consequences of horses on the beach, including manure left on sand or in the parking lots and horse trampling of the dunes, according to a County document discussing the proposed order.
The document also said County "has no sufficient personnel to clean beaches or to enforce that the owners are properly cleaning after horses."
But Hill said the runners know cleaning after their horses and it was noted that people not ride on the main part of the beach sand but on surfing.
"We are in the low tide, tide"area, she says if manure "does get on the beach." ""
Hill said people who rent horses are those who clean up after their horses.
Oakley, accompanied by consultant Glen o ' Connell, represents the beach areas in Georgetown and said the most complaints that he hears are generated from tenants horse.
But, said, County staff is working to determine what authority Board regulate individual or business lease operating on beach horseback riders.
"I'm a big supporter of given was informed that you can be", said Oakley.
He also told the Council "wants to hear people who will be affected.
Hill stated that she and many others will be the meeting of the Board to tell their side of the story.
"We are it for what duration will go," she says.
Oakley said he thinks that it is a question of "where you folks on both sides who have an argument."
