Horses in housing-estates

[sean1]

Does anyone else here have a problem with horses being kept in housing-estates, whether they be in peoples back-gardens or public fields within housing estates?

I think it's deplorable for the horses welfare.

I accept that the Govt. don't provide enough facilities for people who have horses and who haven't got the money to spend tens of thousands of euro every looking after them, and that in some areas kids haven't got the social services to do much else and indeed love looking after horses.

However, I think its primitive keeping them within housing estates.

Didnt know this was something that concerned the nation to be honest.

It should be up to the local councils to provide facilities for them though.

they must be Irish speakers... :wink:

Is it still happening?

I grew up in Finglas and there was always a couple of pieballs around the place.
They seemed to have good grass though.

Are you suggesting that they are tethered up in a concrete environment?

Your attitude to the Irish language is primitive and unrepresentative of most people in the country, you weirdo.

Yes, in some cases in peoples back-gardens where they have no grass and ************************ all space to move.

To their credit, Dublin City Council tried to sort the problem our a few years ago- at least in public fields. There are now nowhere near as many as there were. However, they are still around.

Thats my other problem with them.

[Gladstone]

Isn't it already illegal tho?

It might not just be the horses that make the place look like a kip!!

Yeh the root of the problem would really be the gob************************es who bring them into the estate to begin with.

Maybe if they'd stayed in school after third year (ok I'm steriotyping a bit)
