Horses Prefer Car Wash To Cold Hose

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. -- A car wash is for cars -- not horses. Horse owner Jess Yager found out the hard way.

An animal control officer in North Platte was ready to ticket Yager for bringing his four animals to a car wash. The officer said it was against the law.

Yager was let off with a warning as he took his animals home, after only two got the soapy treatment. No hot wax, though.


Yager said the horses love the car wash and he's taking them to it for years. He said the horses prefer the hot water of the car wash over the cold hose at home.
