Activities or elements that would take place under all of the action alternatives are described below. Where action alternatives discuss new or modified facilities and services, the alternative would allow for the specified facility or service to be constructed as soon as a funding mechanism is identified, however, NPS is not obligated to fund and develop the facilities or provide the services identified. Further, implementation of the Plan alternatives must be compatible with the General Management Plan (GMP) which is currently under revision.

In all alternatives, the NPS would implement a business management strategy that utilizes best practices from the real estate, tourism, and non-profit sector. The business management strategy would update GGNRA equestrian operation management practices and it would conform to law, regulation and NPS policy. The components of this strategy are described in Chapter 1, Introduction.

Under all action alternatives, equestrian-centered programs would continue at GGNRA in southern Marin. This Plan/EA requires that future business leases would determine specific enhancements made to foster broader public programming in order to reach a wider regional audience of riders and nonriders. Public benefit would be improved through required development and maintenance of increased public equestrian riding programs and events, improved trail and road signs, maps, and Internet sites describing location, public programs and other information about each stable site, with links to NPS websites.

Drainage and wastewater management would be improved. At all sites where they exist (Tennessee Valley and Lower Redwood Creek), field treatment septic-systems would be upgraded or replaced with either portable or composting toilets. Treated water would be provided for residential use.

Kicking, a stereotypical behaviour by horses, can be seen as a response to poor animal welfare conditions and environmental stress (Broom, 1983). Despite the fact that horses are social animals, housing in single-stalls or pens is still common. Box design with a minimum contact between neighbouring horsesis one main factor for the increased abnormal behaviour of confined horses(McGreevy et al., 1995). Stereotypic behaviour has no function and can be either frustration-induced or malfunction-induced (Mason & Rushen, 2006). Among classic equine stereotypeslike weaving (locomotion) or cribbing (oral), stall or wall kicking can be categorised as self-mutilation (McDonnell, 2011). As long as the kicking force islow,stall kicking can be considered a bad habit. However, powerful kicks may cause material failure, legs can get stuck and result in life-threatening injuries when releasing or – in the worst-case scenario – not releasing the horse after it gets stuck.

For all action alternatives, specified major maintenance and capital improvements would include actions designed to protect or enhance cultural resources in accordance with the NPS guidelines. The specific improvements will be determined during the future leasing phase.
