    Ugggh !!! It took a tourist to get killed by a jet ski for those to be banned. I knew it was a matter of time with a horse incident. I always though that a small child would be trampled. Those horses do not belong on the beach, and why they are allowed, I will never understand !!!

    Just the facts Ma'am... The jetski ban was already being tabled in Parliament because a tourist lost control and killed a young Jamaican child on a beach on the other side of the island. The incident in Negril prompted the island wide ban weeks later. The ban has been lifted but the operators in Negril have chosen not to resume operating.

    There has been unfortunately many incidents involving those horses. Which is why this will be high on our list of what not to do in Negril.

    Soooo... In the meantime, make sure that you let everyone you know coming to Negril not to ride those horses on our main beach. No demand, there will be no supply...

    Yup I saw a glimpse of it as I was lounging at WS it happen in front or close to Charela...

    There was a lady riding the horse earlier several times today and the last time I saw her she was advertising telling the folks lounging in front of WS that the horse was safe, obedient & beautiful and that we all should give him a try,, she was even riding the horse without the guy holding tightly to the rope...one thing I notice when she got off the horse she was rubbing the horse face with her face and the horse didn't like that and it was moving it's head back and forth as if to get away...the rider was in a hurry trying to leave while she was still trying to hug the horse, I believe he might have seen the cops as they were on the beach alot in the last few days...

    I say all this to say I wonder if it was her because I haven't seen her since the accident. Nonetheless, I pray all goes well for whom ever it was...
