Horse P**

Horse Poo really incenses me. And I don't just mean the smell...

I cycle to work most days. Cycling through London is an interesting pastime, but at least my route takes me through 2 of its larger parks, namely Regent's and Hyde Parks. They are a wonderful respite from the hazard of London traffic.

However, another hazard lurks in Hyde Park: horse poo. Huge lumps of it, laid slap bang in the middle of the path.

Why is it that horse owners are allowed to leave their animals' dung lying around, when a dog owner gets a fine slapped on them?

Don't get me wrong; horses are marvellous animals - not that I've ever ridden one or ever really been around them. I just wish that their owners were forced to clean up after them!
