Are there any towns where horses wear nappies?

[plowter]

Every year there seem to be news stories ahout councils forcing cart horses to wear nappies. How many town does this hapen in? Has it made any differnece to the poop count?

[plowter]

Fess up time.
I want to present a dog-nappy product on Dragons Den.
THe big design question is tail in or tail out?

I have some old champagne corks I can pass on to you.
And some secateurs to resolve the tail dilemma (aw, not really)

[plowter]

Mosaic, hope you haven't stolen my copyright on the mutt-plug.

Don't people have gardens anymore? When I was young there used to be a mad rush to see who could get there first with a bucket and coal shovel when the horse drawing the vege cart in our street lifted it's tail.

Like the logic but I can see a shortcut.

Owner takes dog for walk.
Dog does da business.
Owner picks up da business.
Owner takes da business back home.
Owner spreads da buiness on garden.

dog/cat poo is no good for the garden, only herbivore cr@p.

[plowter]

True dat.
Am sure I read somewhere that Police horse poop isn't the same as dog poop because it's biodegradeable so isn't an offence.

Anyways, has anyone seen a horse nappy?

Horses who pull the jaunting cars around the Lakes Of Killarney, Co.Kerry, Ireland do. Oh my what a to-do there was whe that started.

Although the questions arises - why would anyone want to take a photgraph of a horse's backside while on holiday. That would be an ecumenical matter.

[lady-janine]

thank you plowter for the picture. they don't get in the way of the horses walking and the poo does not get in the way of humans walking. seems sensible to me.

[plowter]

So following this extensive research, there's no reason why dogs shouldn't wear nappies.

Poop Pampers- you heard it here first.

I've been going to Zante for the last five years, and the roads are poop free. Horse and cart are standard taxis, and they all sport under-the-bum plum drums

If a horse pooped outside my gate I would be out there scooping it up.

In Chile there are hundreds of stray dogs in the cities and it can be a tricky job dodging the land mines especially in Valparaiso.
