Horse s*^t

I think the majority of horse owners wouldn't hack out on roads through choice if there was a decent field or bridleway as a nearby alternative and I'm damn sure they don't deliberatey set out to cover specific stretches of roads in horse poo.

 

As unpleasant as it may be for a non-horsey person, asking them to clear it up is pretty unrealistic. When I was young there was dog poo pretty much everywhere, too. I stood in my fair share of it but I managed to avoid eating any and somehow against all odds I survived intomy late thirties.

 

Seriously, though, I know there is some nasty stuff in dog mess. Does anyone know the actual risks from horses?

My guess is that you can catch more parasites from dog doings than from those of a horse. Apart from toxocara, I've got vague recollection that there's a ghastly tapeworm called Echinococcus granulosis in some sheepdog populations.

 

Apart from that, herbivore crap smells nowhere near as bad as carnivore crap. Nothing smells as bad as putrified meat.

Learn to love horses. When the oil runs out we may all end up using them for transport.

 

I'm sure they'll be an owners club where we'll still be able to fawn over those who ride racing thoroughbreds while the rest of us struggle on tarted up ponies.
