Who if any can explaine the stuipd laws between dog sh1t and horse sh1t.
Why if you own a dog and it craps on a footpath yh have to clear it up or yh get nicked.
yet if yh ride a horse and it drops about 2lb of horse sh1t on the roadway where bikers ride at speed, they can just go about there jolly old way wid out a care in the worls and leave it.
This to me is wrong surly 2lb of horse sh1t is worse than a dogs small log . Horse riders should be made to clear it up as well.
Your Thoughts please

there 2 different kinds of sh1t

horse sh1t is biodegradable and will not harm you, dog sh1t is toxic and can make you very ill and make you go blind, especially children, horse sh1t is just straw and grass.
if horse riders are on paths and the horse shits usually the rider will kick it into the road, my wife does anyway
i would rather ride through 2lb of horse sh1t than 2lb dog sh1t
i do pick my dogs mess up though when he's out its disgusting that other owners dont.

Thats what im saying theres no law for horse sh1t probably because its not harmful to health the only thing i know is if your horse shits on the path you are supposed to remove from footpath, for it to be removed from the road this wouldnt happen the average rider would have to be carrying shovel, bucket etc and its just not possible. imo horses have a right to be on the road after all they was the first form of transport horses and rider have a hard enough time on the road trying to cope with idiot car drivers and a small minority of bikers. as for horse sh1t causing loss of life to us bikers i think we have other issues on the road far more dangerouse than horse sh1t ie diesel, oil spillages, oap drivers, boy racers, razor type crash barrier etc etc and yes we do own a horse but im not rich
pariah if your riding through horse sh1t is this sh1t in the centre of the highway?? as all the horse riders i know ride close to the curb exactly where the horse will be shitting maybe the loss of life will come from hitting the kurb not the sh1t.
im not having a go just voicing my opinion mate theres always two sides to a debate

Sorry if I offend but it winds me up that horses do not contribute to any of the stealth taxes. If you ride a horse and trash the green lanes (and although nothing like a 4x4 they do cause damage) or ride the roads in between horseriding routes you get no grief at all. Ride a 125 on a legal green route and every man nad his monkey wants a peice of you
Nothing against horses but why the hell would you ride one on a busy
a-road at peak times

Its an animal that can decide to take the rider for an unplanned joyride into a v dangerous situation. Oh and by the way the lincs air ambulance goes to more horserider shouts than motorcycle accidents

but the worst offenders are Golfers

go figure!
Anyhow horsepoo on roads is wrong diddly !
Sorry for venting my spleen
