Something will be done,just have patience,somebody WILL get hurt,then it will be addressed
I hate to see them even walking slow on the beach.
To be knocked down by a thousand pound beast would be awful.
They can't stop on a dime.
This is a serious safety issue. There are toddlers playing in the sand on that beach.
They don't know to watch for galloping horses!
I reported this to the Jamaica Tourist Board last year.
Beachs are not the place for horses let alone running horses ,I have seen them many time on A full gallop going along the beach,
I agree that horses running on the beach are a danger, however, as a horse lover, I have enjoyed seeing the horses (which seem to be in very good health overall) and have had the pleasure of going on several awesome beach rides...... so my thots are, they need to use some common sense in running on the beach, but to eliminate them would be unjust.......
It wasn't that long ago, that the newspaper said it wasn't legal to ride horses on the beach. That probably is still true, so that would be why they are riding so fast. They don't want to get caught.
Yep, no different from the jet ski's. It took a tragedy for the authorities to do something. The negril police just don't seem to have any direction. Just a bunch of lazy officers looking for some shade.
I saw a child not looking almost walk into the path of one, rider not looking either, a bystander yelled and prevented disaster, still at that it was the KID who jumped out of the way.
Last year a fellow beach goer at our hotel told a story about a girl on a horse that got out of control near the Beachcomber.
Horse went galloping up the beach and ran under one of those thatch roof shade things to try to unseat its rider.
Fortunately, the girl had the presence of mind to duck and stay low. It could have been pretty nasty.
I knew somebody would just HAVE to bring of the jet-skis.
Yeah,jeherring,when someone is hurt by these galloping,unrestricted horses it's gonna be a tragedy just like with the jet ski's
Ironic.Quote:

yuk yuk,if I see you on the beach,I'll buy you a beer,I'm kinda safe as we are westenders(no horses running around xtabi)Quote:

Yawn, yet another thread about horses, jet skis, beer prices.......Negril has horses that run on the beach, if you don't like it complain or vacation in Ochi. Or if you don't like horses or jetskis explore JA up in the Blue Mountains.....We seem to be entitled peoples dictating each and everyone of our nose raising needs in a fashion unfit to leave our homes because entitlement ....sort of saying yawn.... and yawn..... and oh....boycott JA because they have sand and it gets in my shoes. Disney is also an option and maybe a better option for most .
Yep. What's the next thing that needs regulation. Jerk sauce? Should we call out all places that do not warn you that your jerk sauce is..... well Jerk Sauce.Quote:

Responses like this are what keep people from posting on this board.Quote:

I am not saying they should be banned..if they insist on reckless behavior endandering peoples lives..maybe they can and will change their behavior...maybe a time out like I used to give my kids..lol
ever since I almost got ran over by 1 there on the beach I no longer like them on the beach either,I,m sure theres a lot better places for riding.
There are appropriate places for riding horses on the beach (Rhodes Hall for one), but the Negril beach is not an appropriate place. Just my .02
Lol, good one. Eco actually shiiit his pants last year walking to the gas stations in the middle of the night because he was to cheap to hire a taxi.....those pesky horses on the beach are actually kept in front of the Negril Police Station. Toss out any mystery that the police can't figure out who owns them. So anyway,,,,, Eco was doing his cheap walk to the gas station for meds when those horses caused him to almost soil his pants.....he was going to complain to the JTB but their inbox was full of complaints about the tree frogs and the price of Redstripes.Quote:

Don't be silly ;-) we first need to work on people selling herb without having labels stating the THC and such contents. Plus for the love of god all rolling paper should be sold stating if it's organic or not....basic human rights are being ignored while those horses have their basic horsey rights. People stand up to the horses having more rights.....we are the entitled ones and treat us as such......and make beer cheaper...insert a bunch more entitled complains here///////and over here.Quote:

I jut came from the resort and tourist board meeting….10 were seized. It is a beginning and it took time since we had no place to bring horses! They are working on it!
So sad for the horses..Hope they are taken care of...
FYI .... zero horses on the beach as of yesterday, Thursday... Security guard at coco said he saw police loading them on a truck and taking them somewhere...
