Horse riders should pick up their poo!!

Eh? I was commenting on your particular post, you think it's OK not to slow down to pass horses
Take responsibility for what you wrote and stop deflecting
I have no control over what other posters write, how bizarre 🤔

You should have proper control of your horse, i'm a on bicycle doing 15 or 20mph, not coming past at 40 or 50mph a foot from your elbow, something that i have to put up with on a daily basis and often by people in horse transporters, you expect me to slow for you but you lot are happy to wish injury on me and others..

No you do not have control over what other posters write, yet you pull me up but not a poster who thinks its a laugh to harm cyclists.... or is it just a joke to you?

@Capricopia
have never seen a ‘nappy’ for a riding horse.
Here you go.

Myself and many, many others on this thread would greatly appreciate riders using them. I understand it would take I little bit of getting used to for the horse but if they can be trained to take a ten stone human being sitting on them they can manage this.
Please, out of consideration for other road users including wheelchair users, children and (it seems, much hated) cyclist, try them.

But some on here thinks the plebs should be grateful for the free manure bestowed on them and rush out with their bucket and shovel

Not one poster has called anyone a pleb well except for you.
Pointing out that many gardeners are happy to have free manure is not calling them plebs.

Where would they keep the shovel? And then the bag of poo once they’ve picked it up? Do they take the sack of poo home or dispose of it in a bin? And would there be separate horse poo bins to dog bins?
( On the other hand it could just break down quickly with a bit of rain, or dry up in the sun as it’s been doing for 100s of years)

What a ludicrous post!!!! How about we pass a law for cat owners to pick up their pets stinking vile waste from private gardens where our kids play - that is something I’d support!

I have an image of a horse rider on horse back with a gigantic bag of horse shite hung on the side 😂😂😂😂

Are you so thick that you can't see why a huge pile of shit in the road is unpleasant?

It's dried grass and hay not exactly a steaming pile if disease ridden digested meat is it?

While I understand your point, they can't see the horse pooing, dog owners can see the dog pooing. And yes, while I'm no gardener, I'm aware it's good manure. I never even thought why as opposed to dogs, cats and foxes but assume it's to do with a vegetarian diet.

If you dislike horses on the road/slowing for horses/horse poo on the road, the best thing you can possibly do is get in touch with your local British Horse Society Bridleways rep and offer your support in campaigning for off road routes.

If you don't want to 'put up with horses sharing road space', then do something about it!

I remember my daughter out one evening and someone remarked about daddy having lots of money her reply was genius. nope, you probably have more than us you smoke

When they walk through towns and villages yes I think they should

Why would anyone not slow for a horse? They'd rather risk the horse being startled and getting hurt? Or causing damage to their car?

While ranting on about riders, don't forget that a horse is a living being who doesn't deserve to be hurt because the human on it has pissed you off

You've linked to something about mud and a few rants about horse manure. Do you have a link that give actual figures on accidents caused by horse manure? From official sources not just individual people's rants.
I have googled but couldn't find anything. I thought you might have something since you referenced accidents.

VED is an emissions tax and I don't pay it for my car, never mind my bike, and I've never ridden a horse on the road or otherwise.

I don't see any need to clear up manure from the roads, but if it gets on pavements, then maybe it should be, as pavements are for humans, not horses. But how many people ride horses through towns on a regular basis? I really can't see that this is remotely a problem.

Good for the earth
Yes,tarmac really benefit from it I'm sure

I absolutely love the insanity of Mumsnet. You go your whole life happily traipsing around the countryside never having the smallest issue with horse poo or hearing of anyone else having a problem either, then a thread gets started on Mumsnet and 20 posters will leap on to say that CYCLISTS ARE DYING DAILY because of horse poo, and people in wheelchairs are unable to navigate round the Jurassic park sized mounds which are insurmountably blocking pavements across the country and that HORSE NAPPIES have existed for decades even though nobody has ever actually seen one.

I love it

People on this thread who say they don't slow down for horses really need to get their heads checked out! Wtf is wrong with you?! It's extremely dangerous behaviour

To go back to the original point. There are lots of horses around my village, and they poo on the roads. The owners don't need to even think about clearing up after them because the moment anyone sees any they are out with a shovel to take it for their gardens.

Gah, “quote” didn’t work.
I can’t believe someone would actually write
I'm another one who wont bother slowing for horse riderss now, when i do, they rarely acknowledge that you have - they dont pay road tax, have to under go any training or have insurance and think this was something to be proud about
