"Take our litter home"
Does that mean we're now going to see horse riders carrying massive poop-a-scoops and black sacks to take away the mountains of shite their animals leave behind?0 -
That HRT is a load of horse p1ss.0

Just wonder why horse riders don't carry a scoop and just deposit the manure into the hedge line or gutter if possible. Taking it home may be a bit much but don't leave it on the road where other users may need to swerve to avoid it.
Also is it too much to ask horse riders to train their animals properly so they don't endanger other road users when they rear up and panic ?
I would have more respect for them sharing the road .
Oh and number plates and insurance . Ha.0 -

I reckon that I've seen two horses rear up and actually cause a slight delay to following traffic in years and years of cycling and I pass horses on almost every long ride I do.
It's a bit like idiots saying 'cyclists jump red lights' when it's actually a tiny minority that do.
Your intolerance is on a par with some motorists intolerance of cyclists.0 -
How practical is it for a rider to 'park his steed' and go and shovel up poo ? It's not.
And its organic anyway - nothing harmful.
Horses were here before bikes and bikes before cars.
If you're siding with them being an inconvenience on the roads - then what are we ?
We have more in common with horses than motorists.0 -

What is wrong with asking people to clear up after themselves ? And making sure their mode of transport is fit for purpose ?0

The mounted police in Nice carry a fold up shovel and use that to dispose of the poo their steeds create.
It mighr be organic but that doesn't mean it's healthy to ingest....0 -
I emptied a carrier bag of sh*t in front of the house next door , it wasn't convenient for me to clear it up , and anyway it's organic . When they complained I told them I had lived here longer than you.
They looked at me like I was a tool , I told them I had more in common with untrained animals than responsible road users, and no i had never seen police horses with sacks slung beneath their rear ends to collect manure.0 -

it will still make you ill if you are unluckly enough to ingest it, because after its rained and broken down and become pick up off your front tyre on to your frame and transferred onto your water bottle, or you are following someone without a rear mudguard.
it is a genuine thing in winter/spring races around some rural parts both here in the UK and Belgium that riders can end up very ill due to the muck on the roads thats not mud.0 -
Corrected that for them..A bike is a friend and companion to the person who cares for him – to
them he is priceless. However, while a horse may not be made out of carbon fibre, weigh less than 6.8kg and be highly aerodynamic it has still cost the owner a great deal of money to buy and maintain. 0 -

I can honestly say I've never been ill from horse or cattle poo poisoning in all my years of riding country lanes. And if you're following someone with no rear guard down a poo covered lane you need to reassess your life choices.0
