I dont dislike people who dont look like me or I wouldn't be friends with a Mexican co worker of 30 years. He is the one who hates Mexicans THAT ARE ILLEGAL. His parents came here legally and his father was in the Army. It has nothing to do with being scared of some trinkets on the trail. It has to do with this being an national park and the disgracefull situation that exists in that park. I would expect that for my money especially in a national park I would be able to walk on the designated trails without walking in horse waste and be bothered by an illegal person. These are also trails that your own dog is not allowed to use. Dogs are only allowed to go where your vehicle is or on a leash in the campground.
As I stated earlier, horse waste is something you see on every trail where horses are allowed. It's not limited to National Parks, let alone Big Bend. If you don't want to see it, limit your walks to non-horse trails.
As for being bothered by an illegal person who simply rode towards you on his horse, I suspect everyone here has been bothered far more by other legal citizens when out and about than you were by one person on a horse. Sheesh, just sitting in the campground you'll be bothered with the generator-runners, the let-the-dog-bark-non-stoppers, the screaming-kids-families, the blinding-outside-lights-turner-ons, the partyers, and so on. Heck, we even had a post from an OP who was bothered by the elderly man who sat quietly in his campsite.
