Questions about the horses on the beach

[rickme]

Just got back from the island and yeah - horses do gallop by about once an hour and poop on the beach- but they seem less disturbing/dangerous to me than jet skis. There was one woman from Italy who had to circle a hundred feet from the beach at full throttle for at least a 1/2 hour 2 - 3 times a day while her friend took video

My experience in talking with one of the young men riding these horses up and down the beach is,he tells me "police are coming" and gallops off!

This is not a "free market" issue. This is a safety issue.
Last week I watched some guy running his horse at a full gallop
along the beach at Beachcomber hotel. There were children and
TODDLERS on that beach!!!

We spoke to a guest who last year saw a woman riding a walking horse bolt
away at a gallop and tried to remove her by going under a thatched cabana
She had the presence of mind to hug down on the horse and probably escaped with
her life.

Ok use a single horse walking up and down the beach with an advertising sign.

This is a problem that needs to be addressed by...whom?

[DConkle]

Ok if this is illegal, maybe "police horses" along the------ nevermind. That won't work either. Thought for a moment I was on to something! Or upon checking in to ones hotel guests be informed the horses are illegal. Might slow things down enough to bring an end to this? Just thinking out loud.

Thank Jah there are not any infants around when those 4 legged raging horse style bulls run with the duppies.

Once we rid the world of horses we can focus on putting safety nets around coconuts so when a single one falls and kills someone we can focus on sand fleas

If you've seen the horses on the beach and have any common sense at all you know they're dangerous and don't really belong there,unfortunately it's when people don't use there god given common sense the government steps in to create laws ie seat belt laws and DUI laws we have in the statesjmo

Relax, the horses are as dangerous on the beach as cars are on the road. Ponder about dat. Walk every beach in the world and find me one evil horse that is out to harm tourist then walk every road on this planet and find just one car that is evil enough to run someone down. Point is....evil horses should not drive cars with their god given common sense.

I fully agree with what you are saying!. In my 30 years of riding and owning horses, I've yet to see one that aims for and tramples a tourist.

It may be a joke to you Eco, but not to me. I was nearly run over by a horse on my last day of last visit. Usually I have a Red Stripe (or an empty) in my hand, but not this time. I vowed then and there to always have a bottle in my hand when walking the beach.
