Riders should be made to clear up by law
THIS is a final letter in response to Mrs G Irvine's letter "Ever had a call of nature".
Mrs Irvine obviously only read the parts of my earlier letter which she wanted to read, since in that letter I stated that horses had no need to come into our road, it being a cul de sac with 'no through road'.
Thus the rider leaving the "mess" on our road could not have been "looking for a quicker way home", as she stated.
A friend of mine – a former horse rider – had informed me (as stated by Mrs Irvine in her letter) that it is indeed a courtesy to return and clear your horse muck up.
As to her comment that I should move to the city – I would like to inform Mrs Irvine that I have lived locally in the countryside for all of my life and have no intention whatsoever of leaving now!
Finally – as with dogs – maybe a law should be made whereby horse owners clear up after their animals or face a fine.
