Around here ( Northern Colorado, US) there are a lot of trails where horses
(really "stock" as people are allowed to hike with their llamas and alpacas
which they use to carry their gear) and at least one other mode of travel
is allowed (e.g. hiking, running, biking).  These trails are often
extensively used by people utilizing all allowed modes of travel.  Yes,
intensive use by horses can tear up the trail, as can use by other modes of
travel.  However, these rough trails  are considered part of the
experience.  There are often nearby alternatives for those looking for a
smoother/easier walking experience.
