This manual is intended for use by horse and pony owners who do not typically operate as a business and are characterized as "noncommercial." It is an educational tool to provide guidance to small-scale, noncommercial horse owners on equine management practices that will help minimize nonpoint source pollution and protect Florida's water resources. It may also help in complying with state and local regulations that apply in your area, as some state laws or local ordinances may require some of these practices. State and local regulations take precedence over this manual, and measures more restrictive than those contained in it may apply to specific situations.
