Sounds reasonable. And all kinds of critters poop and pee on our lawns-- coyotes, feral cats, rabbits, birds, opossum, foxes, raccoons, bear, deer, alligators, etc. Usually not horses unless you are in a very rural area.

Remember some large horse poop when a carriage ride drawn by horses picked up some couple for a romantic ride around our neighborhood in Palm Harbor, Florida.

I guess that the carriage ride people got around to picking up the horse poop a few hours after they had retrieved the horses and carriage. I had had to go around the poop when going out doing errands in the car.

I often see dogs pooping on our lawn. The owners usually clean it up but probably do leave a little bit of it. And they pee. Animals do what they want often whether or not the owner keeps a very careful eye on them.
