Horses are rubish

If you love your wife you would respect her hobbies and interests - they are after part of who she is - she accepts/respects your biking doesnt she?

Horses dont deserve your contempt - you should have more respect - they are beautiful loyal hardworking creatures and the world relied on them for work/transport for thousands of years before we replaced them with cars...and they played their part in the wars.

BTW you cant spell rubbish.

I love horses, but horses on the road are a danger to motorists and sometime the riders themselves.

Motorists are a danger to horses/themselves/the rider/each other...horses were here for thousands of years as transport...why can people just be more tolerant in general with other road users...why do people have to keep bringing this subject up again and again...jeez!

I've decided that I have more to say...

If you say that, then you could say the same about cyclist and peds, and if they start banning horses, they will get on to a trend and then everything gets banned including bikes.

Freedom, tolarance, patience is what is needed, not just for horses but for everyone as we seem to have lost that in our little worlds rushing about to our next 'urgent thing'. Remember your late because of something thats happened to you, its not there fault.

Grinch you are a lovely man...so nice to hear such a sensible, philosophical and passionate statement (specially from someone who looks like a punk rocker! )

I love a good looking impressive horse.

Alas I'm alergic to them and have several bad experiences that put me off ever going near them

A) Bitten by a shire poney in the chest when I was little. (Really bloody hurt)

B) Kicked by a new forest wild horse when I was little. (That hurt even more)

C) Pony trecking in perthshire, my sisters horse bit my dads horses bum, and all hell broke loose.

They are just to unpredicatble for my liking.
