Title: Horse Muck
Post by: wheels on March 24, 2015, 01:38:01 PM
Your the expert on poo Dave but I always find it odd that the laws don't apply also to horses. Certainly  where I live horse poo is a much greater problem.

Perhaps it does apply and horse riders just ignore the law.

it doesn't - and shouldn't - apply because horses are vegetarian and their poo is neither smelly nor dangerous to people, unlike dog poo.

You took the words from my mouth. Thanks, NBT.

Incidentally, if anyone wants some free well-rotted horse poo for their rhubarb and roses you'll be welcome at Hargate Hill Equestrian Centre at Charlesworth. With around a hundred assorted riding school horses and ponies and horses and ponies at livery there is an amazing amount of the stuff! Just go up there in the daytime 7 days a week and speak to a member of staff

No they don't. Be reasonable - it's free! People turn up with a car boot full of sacks or those big buckets that hang up outside Hollins' shop or even a trailer of some sort

It never sits on the Middlewood Way for very long - the allotment owners recognise a gift of nature when they see it. Just the thing for the roses.
