    Because horse shit doesn't contain pathogenic bacteria. Part of the cycleway I use is used by cyclists, horse riders and people walking their dogs, and it's because of the latter it gets it nickname dog shit alley.

    When I ride my bike through horse poop, it's relatively inoffensive, when I ride it through dog crap it flicks up and has the potential to make you violently ill and even lose your eyesight.

    Humans think horses are far more superior than Dogs.

    When you ride through horse poo your back wheel flips it all on to the back of your shirt

    And humans are more superior that either dogs or horses but we don't put up with human crap all over a popular track.

    9 times out of 10 I avoid any horse muck anyway as it's not a common occurrence. It's the gauntlet of dog shit that is left by lazy dog owners that is harder to avoid.

    If horses could speak they would tell you that they are the superior race.

    But then again, if dogs could speak they would tell you that they are.

    Bungitin Sr. was instructed to follow horses around with a shovel besides going along railway lines and canals looking for coal.

    Perhaps horse riders still expect somebody to clear up behind them?

    Well it's not really practical to carry a shovel and wheel barrow around.

    Maybe they should make the unemployed walk around and shovel shit up all day after those who can't be bothered picking it up.

    Sagitarii. Sagitarius is singular.

    Sagittariodes, because it's from the latin?

    Or not, because actually Sagittarius means The Archer not The Horse Dude

    So actually just Centaurs

    Exactly - Sagitarii, it occurs quite a lot in Roman histories and military literature, obviously ;)

    You could just throw yourself over it and solve the OP's problem!

    ETA; I think I may be part of the OPs problem, having read the posts about Sagittarians, as I am one. :D

    How are they to control the horse while picking it up?

    As an excuse that's right up there with "I broke the speed limit because I can't read my speedo properly" in terms of shooting oneself in the foot.

    If horsists are really saying they can't pick up their mess because their animals are uncontrollable then I'd suggest they have no place on the public highways at all.

    One, it was a question, not an excuse.

    Two, I'm not a "horsist".

    So not a horse person then. We need an arrow person thread. Go on, if there was ever a night to start one this must surely be it:D
