    Re: Questions about the horses on the beach

    I don't know how but the tourist board needs to know about this it has been going on for years. Or are they just oblivious to it. I don't know

    I was sitting at Sun Beach one evening a few years back quietly having a beer at sunset when a horse stopped directly in front of me did his business and the rider got off scooped it up I to to a black lada bag......disgusting.

    Rob, what can we do about this problem?

    I know how the horses feel especially after a large bowl of oat meal.

    I am going riding later this afternoon. I love horses and I love riding. I am a responsible horse woman and I always take care when riding. No matter what country!. I have my own horse in the UK but I have never ridden a horse in the ocean or on the beach in the Caribbean, this is part of my holiday.

    If you think the worse thing that is going in the sea is horse manure - then I am genuinely worried for you!. Don't forget, horse pooh is purely organic, good for the skin LOL

    Mangogirl,

    The JTB and the Ministry of Tourism are fully aware of the issue. They are seeking the best solution, looking at all options from formal regulations and licensing to out right banning.

    Since it is so popular with the visitors to Jamaica, I personally feel that the regulatory and licensing option will end up being the one chosen.

    It is the old game of supply and the demand. If there was no demand for the horses, there would be no supply...
