Horse riders should pick up their horses poo.

[very-near]

Horses are like a giant pidgeon form of vermin. Although once when one of our horses had to have some injections for some shoot and was a bit dazed anyway it was pissing constantly and i did catch a glimpse of its dong and was pretty taken back not in a gay way but i give it props.

There was a time when the accumulation of horse poo in city streets was as much a hot potato as global warming is today.

I believe the expression 'shoot storm' dates from the horse-power era.

(Powdered horse poo + wind + humidity = Ick)

And it is purely my personal opinion but ANYONE who eats horsemeat should be disembowelled and publically flogged.

You've never been to France, then?

Like I said guys, just my own personal opinion.

Back to the OT...and Horse nappies

York, Vienna and other cities as well as seaside resorts like Blackpool and Great Yarmouth have insisted that horse owners working commercially clean up after themselves or wear a nappy (the horse not the owner!) It is amazing how easy it became to clear up after their horses!

Bath even went as far as refusing to renew one company's license unless the issue of dung was addressed.

50 years ago people used to run out into the streets with a shovel and bag to collect horse poo. its a brilliant fertiliser

Racist.

Personaly i think you should look up, not keeping on looking down.
Ive never had a problem with horse shoot, i see it in time and can just go around it.

Yeah but Jonathan done that and went down: smart arse

Lisa you obviously like a big strapping mammal betwixt one legs - its the shoot that comes outta the back of 'em thats the PROBLEM !

Never mind fox-hunting, shoot outta the horses could see the end of that

How many times are you going to keep posting this contraption on here Cunobelin

I'll repeat again. This device is not intended for use with a mounted horse being exercised. As a 'stable 'gadget' I can see little value in it and would be interested to see what happens to all the piss when the horse attempts to lie down. Does it wash over the animal and then create a whole new set of hygiene problems for the animal to deal with as opposed to a bed of straw or shavings.

On the road, any contraption being forced upon the carriage horse operators is attached to the carriage itself and not to a mounted horse.

Were you trying to catch him ? (he looks a bit evasive in the one pic )

Ours aren't being ridden at all at the moment. Hopefully will be getting back into competition fitness in a couple of months after my daughter has her sprog.

I ride the smaller one whne we hack out and occasionally the bigger one, but the TB is a bit of a handful when in an open space (and I'm not ashamed to admit it )

Except for Donket Xote. Tilting at windmills and other such tomfoolery.

Very-near, he is beautiful

You should take a trip out to Mongolia then, where horses are raised for meat and milk, like cows are here.

There's no reason why we shouldn't eat horse, except that they haven't been bred intensively for maximum production and it takes a long time to get one to an economical size. If you eat beef, or lamb, or chicken, you shouldn't have a problem with horse. The only reason we don't eat it now is because of a 1200 year old papal order.

BTW, I love horses, and I rode every week for a few yers, until the money ran out. But at the end of the day, they are just a collection of steak like any other herbivore. And especially healthy steak at that.

I used to horse ride, loved it a lot as well, owned one before and helped start a new foal.

Got no problem with them being eaten though.
