Why can horses just **** everywhere?

Clearly all horses on public roads should have a carriage behind them to carry all the faeces collected in sacks while out in public.

This is a brilliant idea because it will only wind up self important car drivers even further and that is always entertaining.

Well we should bring back dung collectors. Would reduce youth unemployment.

True, plus if you had to get off and clean up the mess every time the horse did something, the horse could easily become distressed maybe if they have to stop at the side of the road.

Don't take a horse on the road then, simples. Use a field.

Near me some gypsies have set up camp next door to a crematorium and cemetary. A few times their horses have managed to get into the crem and crapped all over people's graves. Pretty disrespectful I thought though not really the horses fault.

I'm not sure you understand how digestion works. Food is fed into the bubble pouch down the windy pipe where it is stored in a quantum state that means it does not exist until observed and when it is expelled out the rump trumpet it materialises into existence and therefore at that point only, has mass.

Ah, that must be why I can eat so much. Today I learned.

There's a simple solution, buy horse diapers. which more people are doing these days.

Who the **** is walking around shoving it in their eyes that we consider it a public danger?

mostly effects children playing in parks if i remember rightly.

I think they should be limited to the countryside and essentially have urban areas in cities + towns as horse ban zones on the road. Around here only chavs seem to keep them + use the silliest looking little carts to ride in behind them. They're a complete danger around here when they try mixing into the traffic. A car driver would be reported instantly for veering onto the wrong side of the road and stopping oncoming traffic, why not a horse owner?

there goes all of the ceremonial stuff in london then. also police horses.

thing is, the local authorities seem intent in reducing the amount of usable bridelways. that and the fact that very few actually link up and/or start and finish where they are needed so using the road to some extent is unavoidable (and perfectly legal by the way).

Can they go on the roads with 50mph limit? Once I was suprised why there was a massive traffic and guess what? A horse rider who looked at me, because I filtered the traffic and was showing me a hand to stop. I was like WTF? you're not the police and thought can that horse actually be on a road with 50mph speed limit? It was a road between 2 smaller towns, but surely she could have went on some side roads or transport the horse?

I was on a bike so it was easier for me to overtake her, but imagine someone in a car. It was just before the rush hours when the traffic is slowly building up.

Absolutely. I agree completely. The horse riders and horses should take the bus between towns like the rest of us! :mad:

Revving a motorcycle is significantly louder then a car which can spook the horse and cause problems which you could easily avoid by not riding with aggression towards horse riders.

You need to look up "BaronVonGumble" on youtube for his take on horse riders

Or you could remove spookable animals from an environment that is inappropriate for them. Its like waking your dog on the motorway and expecting everyone to do 5mph so not to upset little ruffles.

So they can afford a horse, but they can't afford to buy a horse box? That sounds like BS, no offence...

My bike makes a significant 'pop' every now and then on low rpms, I can't help that. It is road legal, as I have the paper from MOT to confirm that

BTW I'm subscribing him and saw that video about horse riders ages ago. He's right though...
