There was a story in our local newspaper today - "The Cambrian Times" - about a woman in a wheelchair who has a blind pet sheep (born with no eyeballs) that wears a nappy so that it's "mess" doesn't offend anyone. Seriously, I'm not making this up.
What I want to know is how horse owners are exempt from this concern. Dog owners have to "pick up" their doggie's mess and even sheep keepers it seems have to do it. Dogs aren't even allowed on the beach from May until September because of the risk but horses walk up and down the beach and the High Street pooing all year round, but have you ever heard of a "horse poo bag"?
The rich folk who run this country it seems are exempt from having to deal with animal poo. Socialism will never be real until I see a rich person picking up horse poo from Borth beach or Borth High Street. It seems it's still one rule for the rich and one for the poor.
GRRR.
Tom.

Over here, carriage horses all have to have poo catchers slung under their bums. I don't thing one would be practical for riding, though, as it would have to be too big, and might spook the horse, having a nappie slung under its tail.
