That's why I thought I'd ask the list, as I said I didn't want to offend or insult anyone, but these landmarks exist and especially horse paddocks are big enough that they'll show up on numerous zoom levels. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Well I'm not deeply familiar with the organisation, but I'd say that something containing sport=equestrian would be the most appropriate. Or at least that would be the closest thing OSM currently has. - Original Message - From: John Smith Date: Monday, June 29, 2009 4:24 pm Subject: Re: [talk-au] Riding for the Disabled...

Re: [talk-au] Riding for the Disabled...
I'd say that since the name of the organisation is "Riding for the Disabled" it should appear on the map in exactly the same form. If it was offensive to it's customers one would think that the name would have been changed by now. And if nothing else offensive names are the fault of the company in question, not OSM. Tagging a POI with a different name may be more politically correct, but it can be confusing for map users if the map name doesn't match a name on a sign.
