I was wondering about this earlier when I was walking my dog. There are quite a few horse owners in my area so they are reguarly going up and down the roads and paths. What I don't understand however, why is it ok for a horse to leave a heap of poo right in the middle of public pathways but not dogs? I think they're both as bad as each other. Now i know you can't exactly stop a horse from doing anything and can't pick the mess up in a bag. But a person can get fined if their dog does it and it's not cleaned up, yet a huge pile of horse poo can be left there. I just find it a bit strange.

However, i could be talking out of my arse. I don't know really.
Therefore it is less dangerous.
I however may be talking out of my arse...:yeees:
Yep, we fella round my way's eye is all fucked up cos he rubbed dog shit in it when he was younger.
You can't train a horse to only take shits at home whereas you can with a dog.
I recall something about dog shit and blindness too....
so much show i shout at them when i see them.
One night from work there were 2 horses trying to cross at the top of the motorway slip road, like what are they thinking.
go to the grass, where horses are supposed to be.
end of story.
:yes: and other diseases.
ah ha ha, I take it you're not a horsey person? lol
im actually quite fond of horses, just not on the roads, i dont get it.
if i was to drive around the fields, people would think i was a loon
You wouldn't want to live round my way then. Horseriders and all creatures great and small wandering freely.
Horse shit is bassically just grass. We used to throw it (dried) at each other as kids. I don't pick up my dogs shit on the forest, I don't really see the point. Infact I have never had to pick up my dogs shit.
My riding boots are utterly caked in horse poo and I never even bother to clean them. If I owned any footwear that became caked in dog poo, I'd cry and throw them out asap, while gipping.
Horses were on the roads before cars were!
true, but they lost first dibs on the roads when they stopped using them, 5 second rule and all that.
Pardon the pun but I shit you not. Really did happen, poor cunt.
