How come dog owners are expected to clean up after their pets, but horse owners aren't?  There's signs all over saying dog owners must pick up and bag their shit, but nobody seems to care about Mr. Ed dropping road apples all over the place.  I particularly like riding through fresh horse shit on shared use singletrack.  Fucking double standards.

Because it's unreasonable to ask people to carry around a shit shovel and a 10 gallon bucket all the time while riding?





Because there really aren't that many towns and cities in America where horses on the streets are seen very often, if ever?





Horses, when they are found in town, are generally found in the more rural, less cosmopolitan towns,  where more people are

general familiar with horses to some extent,   and are somewhat tolerant of pasture pudding.   It's the city slickers that go

batty over the occasional turd in the street, and they really need to get over it.

So what do the pooper scoopers do when there is no parade in town?

Horse shit doesn't stink as bad as dog shit when you step in it.

Horses hold seniority as a mode of transportation.

You'll get your revenge when you ride up to a horse that doesn't know you're there with a rider on board.

Because you really don't have anything really serious to worry about?

Bigger animal's shit rules over smaller animal's shit?

Horse will stomp your dog's ass? King of the hill type thing.

People don't mind looking at horseshit, but dislike looking at dogshit?

More dogs than horses on public rights of way?

Fuck, I tire of finding reasons for you. Search for more of your own.
