    Re: Questions about the horses on the beach

    Absolutely reminds me of why I only go to Cosmo's on the beach.

    Down that end I visit old friends but only to visit.

    Re: Questions about the horses on the beach

    I agree with Eco on this one.
    Caveat emptor.
    Whether the horses are there legally or not, if you're taking advantage of the beach, watch your back.
    You keep your eyes on your kids when they're swimming, right?
    This seems similar.

    To me the local issue would seem to be sanitary over anything else.
    Unless a horse is wearing diapers . . . we're all grown-ups, we all understand a horse's capabilities in the defecation dept.

    Furthermore if you are going for a horse ride, this is a horse - not a car, there isn't a gas pedal nor a brake.
    If you're not an accomplished horse-person don't get on a horse you know nothing about.
    Believe me horses can tell.
    For no fee what so ever, I offer the same advice about scooters - road rashes seldom enhance vacation.

    As far as throwing something at a horse . . . hmmm?

    That seems like something that in the long run isn't going to achieve your desired results (which I assume is having a fun, relaxed time in the capitol of casual).
    Besides you'll probably hit the horse and it sure isn't their fault they got dragged onto the beach.

    It's Negril, why waste a lot of energy on being uptight?
    If you're looking for a hermetically sealed vacation destination I understand Disneyworld is completely safe and entirely scrubbed free of real world dangers.

    Eco and RumPole,

    You have not made a valid argument here.
    A toddler cannot "watch his/her back" on the beach.

    Valid arguments take too much time....just here for the good times :-)

    Not sure who said a toddler can watch his own back...not me....but if the toddler is gansta nuff he can with a little help from his wingmen:-) On a serious note, regulations on the activity and the operators of the horses makes much more sense than just to ban them. IF responsible people rode the horses up and down the beach looking for business away from the populated beach areas life would be good. I can totally see/witness the current criminal type of riding(in some cases) and it needs to stop. Heck I was almost taken out 4-5 years ago by someone at full gallop as I entered the beach. Just....ban the bad riders...not the horses and unicorns

    There are unicorns? Even more magical a place than I had thought! Where are the unicorns?

    I respectfully (I don't want to start a trolling thing on one of the pleasantist sites on the interwebs) suggest that a toddler on the beach should have adult supervision and part of that supervision can be looking out for horses.

    But that may just be me, I was a lifeguard in an earlier version of myself.

    I guess reasonable people can disagree.

    Cool Papa Georgie.
    We already agree on a key issue.

    "I wish they would just outlaw the beach horse riding all together."

    It is illegal but is done because 1.) it's $$$ & 2.) people want to do it. Kind of like ganja. Illegal but there's a demand.
