No reason why not..... Horse butter, horse yoghurt, horse double thick chocolate shake, the possibilities are endless....
Apparently, in some nomadic mongolian peoples, horse fat is a weaning food - it's quite soft, see, unlike beef fat, so babies can gum it, and get the fats they need for growth and sheer survival...
Actually, of all the world outside Europe, Mongolia is one place I'd sort of like to see.
very-near said: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.
I am so glad you know the devices that were being recommended.... and that you are an expert oin each of these different cases (lets not let a few facts interfere, I'll inform BANES council the they were wrong on your behalf?)
It works wonders for the streets - threatened with this the owners seem to suddenly become able to clear up after them....... an effective device to my way of thinking!

the TB is a bit of a handful when in an open space (and I'm not ashamed to admit it)
Actually he is a real gem as regards catching-he catches ME
He will follow me round the field like a puppy and will put his nose in his headcollar for me!!!!Think more by luck than training as iv had to go back to basics with him as for a ten year old he had not even been properly backed and everyone thinks I am crazy taking him on
he was so headshy that it took me months to get near him even holding a headcollar so am proud of him for coming this far.
He is SO exciteable tho and any foray out of his field envolves 20 minutes of kicking his heels up, spinning and some enviable ballet moves!!

I only know because you keep banging on incessantly about it. It will only catch on with the PeeCee crowd.
I'm not that impressed with the way carriage operators work in Blackpool and something like this contraption would only add to the discomfort of the animals in their charge.
Take a look at the harness arrangement to keep it secure for a kickoff. Is there any other space for the rest of the tack (or the rider) ?
What happens when the horse takes a pee and it starts to overflow, where does it then go - all over the horses legs and then the road ?
What happens when it rubs open a sore around the horses tail or between its back legs which then gets infected ?
A crap device badly thought out which was created to solve a problem for non horse owners which isn't any sort of a big deal in reality.
I can't see anyone who would like to handle that after it has been worn for a couple of days. It is downright nasty

peanut said:50 years ago people used to run out into the streets with a shovel and bag to collect horse poo. its a brilliant fertiliser
Funnily enough there was an article by Hunter Davies in the Sunday Times about this very topic and how he was sent out with a bucket and shovel to collect the prized poo as a kid.
It wasn't just fifty years ago. I did it forty years ago when Sonny Murphy, the fruit and veg merchant, did his rounds in Darlington.

A work colleague who likes horses but hates cyclists asked me why on Earth I rode a bike and not a horse. I told him:
Bicycles do not leave piles of cr*p on the road / bridleway.
Bicycles do not get scared and run off into the distance.
Bicycles don't stop in the middle of the road or trail for no good reason.
Bicycles don't decide to kick their front or back wheel at passers-by.
You don't have to worry about your bicycle eating ragwort.
If your bicycle breaks a wheel, you don't usually have to.......
Apologies to horse lovers- I don't have a problem with horses, just cyclist-haters!

So the alternative is to clear up after the horse - thus preventing all the problems... it is so simple

This is supposed to be a 'stabling device', not something which is used for exercising animals with. It is totally unsuitable for the use you propose and if you did have even a grain of understanding of horsemanship, you wouldn't be putting this ridiculous idea forward.
What exactly is your objection to a pile of horse dung on a bridleway anyway ?

I have come up with a proper idea.
I am going to ban any horse except for miniature horses.
Because horsey jumping is classed as a sport when it just isnt(sitting ontop of a horse and pointing it in the right direction and it jumping over things is just lazy and not a real sport) i say everyone should have miniature horses.
Carbon emissions will cut down, this is because you can put the horse in your car instead of in a big trailor, which lowers fuel economy by the drag the horse trailor causes.
It will also make it a sport, because people will have to run around with their minature horse, jumping over the obsticles aswell as the horse, making it a real sport.
Not only will the horse be working, but so will the person, so you will have to actually be fit to do it, aswell as your horse being fit.
It will also mean less big shoots on the road, can take your miniature horse for walks off the road, and can even pick up after it.
You dont need such big fields for the horse because they are smaller, a big back garden will do, or if not a small stables.
This will mean that there will be fields spare to grow stuff on, like oilseed rape, corn, apples, houses, and other things. Or sheep and cows that we actually need so we can eat/get food from them/other products that we need.
Horses we dont really need, we dont really need them. I doubt we would lose much, if anything, if horses were got rid of.
So there we go, everyone vote for me when you can, so i can take over England, and make Britain great again!
