Sorry to whinge but this really pisses me off

Just been and picked up Alfie and on the lanes I was following a LandRover Discovery which in turn was behind Rachel. We came up behind two horses on the road. Rachel was waiting for a gap large enough to pass safely. The 4x4 was obviously irritated at having to wait. Rachel passed the horses giving plenty of room as being a horse rider herself knows what it's like. The prick in the 4x4 just hammers past the two horses leving inches of room. How the horses didn't spook I don't know. What a fucking tool.

Fuck sake it only takes a few moments to give these animals the respect and care they deserve. A 17 hand horse landing on the front of your car is not a laughing matter

 

Same as you here, I would rather sit behind and let the rider beckon me past if on a narrow road.

 

Wonder why they measure them in hands, bit weird. I always slow down for horses and give them plenty of room........unless its the mutha's using them for hunting (I hear they banned that in the UK now?) in which case they get full throttle and the fireworks from the limiter

 

im sorry ... but that must be a very sore thing to have happen



and i agree aswell....

 

why not leave the horses i the fields or use bridle paths !!!!

infact pay for road tax or get trade plates on em !!!!!


horses are no longer for roads, fields and stables is where they should stay !!!!!


sorry but i know this will piss steve off and then hes gonna come to the gumball to haev words then we can have a beer


i think they should be allowed onn the road to save money to keep the price of dog food down instead of the traveling fees they incur

 

I have to agree, its a horse - get in a field.

If they wanna ride in the road at least wear a high-vis jacket and an amber flashing helmet

 

too fuckin right, get off the fuckin roads or as ginge rightly says pay the tax cos there steel horseshoes do more harm than a rubber tyre

 

My missis has a horse, why should they not go on the road? Not only is it a change of path to take for the rider but also the horse. Dont see a prob just slow down when passing.

 

Horses were around before cars fellas and they are animals, give them some respect ffs

 

100% agree with horses, er, I mean Ginge....

I have all the respect in the world for horses, but why do they have to be on the road ???

 

hey i was taking the piss

i know all the reasons for horses on the roads !!!!!

i just wanted a reply off oranoco

 

I am not

So, what are the reasons then, I need educating by the looks of things.

 

Because women use their hands to measure it with if you ask me

More then a hand is a face full

 

they are part of old english law, something also to do with bridle paths and ya cant issue parking tickets on streets in the westend due to old english law


i never read the exact book but they have right or way to a car !!!!!

i think the riders should carry a poopa scoopa when riding like i do wioth me dog though !!!!!!

btw my dog was a 54kilo GSD, not far off horse's shite he passed out

 

Fuck them.

Most horse riders are arrogant fuckwits, who have no respect for people driving in the countryside, they see country roads as their own, which is far from the way it is.

Today incidentally, I was driving a mate home to his farm in the country, and approached three horses, (3 abreast across the road) so i drove more or less right up to them, expecting them to filter into single file and let me past, but no, they stay 3 across and wave me to stop, i stop, as i had no where else to go, and they walk past, slow as you like, heads high thinking they are a class above, not even a wave or a thank you?
I had the decency to pull away normally, low revs etc.. but in my opinion, i had every right to give it some and light up the wheels on the way away, but nah, i gave a bit of respect, unlike those posh twats.

Before i get pelters, i realise completely that not all horse riders are like this, and fair play to them, they have as much right to use the road as me, but for fuck sake, we give them some patience, respect and most of all we give them our time so they can ride in peace, why the fuck does that mean they can prance around, 3 wide on a single track road, showing drivers no respect what so ever?

 

where I live there is a 2 car wide lane for about 3 miles to a pub where we eat sometimes, nothing but fields on either side but the horses are always on the lane. I thought the idea is to ride it not walk it.

 

Ginge, there are loads of silly laws, that doesn't mean everyone follows them. There are places in the UK where it's illegal to go outside without a bow and arrow for example, don't see many folks doing it do you

If there are paths that are safer for horses and rider alike, why not stick to them ???

Next thing you know, horses will be allowed on the motorways too

they will fooking write ya car off if ya hit em

the horse law also come in to the fact that all the rich people like to own em and so they get to make there rights too

i think horses should be treated like cylists, they gotn bridle paths, use em or loose em

 

im wiv ginge... run em over !! hahahaha i don't care im pissed

 

thats not my plan !!!!!!!

i do not accept the bad things to animals !!!!!!, horses can damage cars real bad


infact who was the member that had a horse kick his rear quarter window in about 2 years ago in his cossie

now it that was me i would have run the horse over and then backed up afew times jeepers creepers style

 

ginge shut up i saw u kick that horse outside my house!!

 

leave simons missus alone !!!!!

 

i was talking about yours!!

 

 

I sooooo wish I hadn't read this post.....


Do you not think us horse riders would stick to bridal ways at all times if we could instead of having pricks like "some" of you lot flying past us, and scaring fook out of the horses??!!!!!!!!

Its all well and good telling us to stick to bridal ways, how the fook we suppose to get to em FLY!!!

 

modify them

 

horse box

sorry kim i was taking the piss, i dont love horses though but i respect animals as all the girl urban legend seems to go with seem nice

but kim maybe if theres no bridle paths ect it means the horses are at the point where they can not travel further and ya then stick em back in there hutch and drive where ya wanna go

what is it woth women and horses anway , any other pet and ya ignore em but horses and ya all pay half ya wages keepiing animals that crap in there own kennel


im gonna get chav'd now aint i

 

lol @ urban legend

b19bal - there's loadsa bridal paths you just gotta go down a few roads to get to em

Horses are a cool....they cost no where NEAR as much as my cossie and there more fun

 

thats the point kim , theres loads of em but there for the horses who can get to em, dobbins has to stay where has access

as for not costing as much as a cossie, what doe ya pay a month for trigger

 

kim - just a genuine question - while im pissed!

is it true that all girls that ride horses are nymphos? (or how ever u spell it!!)

jus a question!!

 

I always tend to stay a good 100 yards behind horses till they turn off......i just can't get enough of that posh rich bird rubbing her bits on the sadle

 

I slow for horses for two reasons:
First, it could make a mess of my car
And second, I don't want to hurt the rider (well, sometimes I do if he/she is taking the piss)

But what good is a horse nowadays, and why should it be on the road?

If I want to go on the road on a car or bike, I need a licence, and MOT and Insurance AND I have to buy a tax disc. Without any of those, I'm limited to private property. Horses can go on the road.

My car needs a CAT and god knows what else to keep the emissions clean. Horses can shit everywhere!

My car takes me and my family places, but no-one ever seems to go more than one-up on a horse.

Cars tow trailers (and caravans too, sadly) but I don't see many horses doing that nowadays.

Why can't horsey people just realise that the horse is a big toy, and use it in a field like I would use a trials bike?

 

b19bal - horse costs depend on what breed it is...mine cost me about Ł150 per month not going into what the cossie costs me ill cry


Urban Legend - how many you had

 

3 now an its all the same story!!! i think u girls jus enjoy something that big between ya legs

 

i love animals personally, but horses are the only ones i hate, i think they are evil. But then again, being French i can safely say they taste so damn good for an evil devil creature.

The comments about 'horses were here before cars' etc etc steam trains were here before electric ones, but do we still use steam trains?

Exactly

Stay in the fields, you don't pay tax, you shit on the roads, there is no real guarentee that a horse will behave itself, you don't have insurance....what if mr horse kicks my 'parked' car?

Sorry, im drunk, but the above is what i believe in....geta horsebox, drive the horse to one of britains numerous bridal paths, have some fun in the fields where the horse likes it, not on the road where its shitting everywhere making it dangerous for bikes and cars, & rearing up if you make a sound it doesn't like.

/Bed

 

Horses should stay in the fields IMHO.
Being confonted with a slippery pile of horse shit on a blind bend is no fun on a motorbike

Mark

 

Horses in fields....

 

I dont find it funny coming around a corner on my bike to be greeted by a pile of horse shit the size of a fucking small child

And i ALWAYS slow down for horses - its not their fault the people riding them are cnuts

And i aint tarring everyone with the same brush, but the ones i come across are ALWAYS stuck up twats that think you should give em a round of appluase because they are on a fucking horse!!! Hello its the year 2005!!!

Sorry rant over.............. and breathe
