Horses belong in the Valley

Editor,

Thank you for your recent excellent commentaries and articles about Yosemite.

I found the article “Equestrian access to Yosemite questioned” especially interesting given that, in an article from July 16 titled, “McPadden: Crowds yes, but no chaos in Yosemite,” Tom Lyden wrote, quoting McPadden, that in regard to parking, “He said they are taking advantage of every paved surface and suggested his own hack: The equestrian stables at Curry Village.”

So yes, it sounds like equestrians are low in priority for McPadden and the park. I’m sorry about that; I don’t agree with Wendy Brown-Barrett on many issues, but she is right here — horses belong in Yosemite Valley.
