also may i correct your issues with equine faeces, equines are herbivores as any matter will be digested plant matter which is perfectly safe for you to actually eat, it is different to dog faeces which can contain the lethal bacteria which causes the condition of toxiplasmosis which can be fatal and end in blindness, this is why horse droppings can be left on the road and dog cant
glad i could clear up another issue for you

If that's the case then perhaps next time your horse defecates on a public footpath you might like to dismount and eat it all up. Or do you think it's acceptable to leave it there and expect OAPs, children, etc to wade through your mess. If you're not hungry then perhaps you could collect it in a bag and smear it across your own driveway or maybe seeing as how it's so inoffensive you could pile it up on your living room carpet.

The fact that you consider it to be harmless ignores that the fact that most people don't want to have to tread in it, get it all over their shoes and possibly carry into their homes. Civilised people do not consider it acceptable for piles of faeces to be left on a public pavement irrespective of it's source.

i love horses but dont see why they can poop on the road and the owners dont have to pick it up like dog owners do? they should also pay a fee like cars do to maintain the road they do as much damage as cars

I'm sorry but how?

Look, i know that everyone reading this - except for our dear friend vor - will see that you are confused in what you post and the order which you are posting/accusing.

I really don't have the time to educate you.



And yet for a busy lawyer with important meetings to attend, you seem to have spent most of the day making a prat of yourself on a forum :rotfl:

ooh don't say that. They get crazy if you generalise about people who drive Audis. It's absolutely fine however to generalise about any other group of people who may have once upon a time caused you mild annoyance.;)

You a horse expert?

From what ive seen horse riders do what they want.

But i think people have missed the original point. The OP was trying to get across how horse riders thought they owned the road.
i.e how they never say thanks for you waiting and passing them wide, how they don't give a damn how many cars are behind them as they ride three wide, how they start controlling traffic to suit them, how they give you the look of death if you pass even 1mph over their acceptable speed, how their horses defecate everywhere without care.
Horse riders think they own the road and that is a fact.

I would rather see Horse poo on every pavement in the uk rather than some Nutter who would target children and horse riders with there car.

Get a grip on yourself Lahey,or was your talk about aiming your car at people just talk to big yourself up?...because in my opinion and probably quite a few of others on this particular thread,its pathetic.

Get back to issuing holiday advice they seem to like you over there.

Remember, kids - going on your hols by Ryanair means never having to get pulled by the Old Bill for driving an unroadworthy vehicle and picking up three points on your licence!

Im telling you mate, I drive the same route every day and when they see me coming they get out of the way, because if they don't they are getting an Audi A4 within an inch of them at 60mph.

The result of years of delays and frustration.

Very big of you Lahey.

Norant, i am tired of correcting you. The part you write about aiming my car at anyone, and the part about children is all false and made up by you.

You are nothing more than a fickle pedant, i fail to see anything in your recent posts where you have helped anyone. You are nothing more than a drain on the resources of the servers that run this site.

What is your occupation btw?
