Round here they often have fatter arses than the horses.

I've no problems with horses on the road, I do have a problem with anything 2 abreast though, and packs of cyclists....  Oh and packs of horses in hunts  :angry: No problems with first gear foot flat to the floor, horn and one finger then.

V8MoneyPit:
Indeed, horse riders are not legally required to take lessons or insure there 'vehicles'. However, in my limited experience, the majority do have 3rd party insurance, even when they are not obliged to do so. There are plenty of car drivers who don't, even though they are legally obliged to do so! The vast majority of horse riders will have past through a riding school or have been brought up with parents who ride. It is highly unlikely anyone with absolutely no experience of horses, suddenly leaps on one and sets out on the road!

Cyclists, on the other hand......  :evil:

dxmedia:
Rode horses for 7 years. No one I knew at the time had any kind of insurance. I definitely didn't, and as a kid I'd have looked blankly at someone if they had asked me.

V8MoneyPit:
My wife has owned horses since she was a youngster (a long time  :evil:) and, as a result, we know many others with dog meat.... sorry, horses! It's a subject that crops up often and it seems quite common to include 3rd party insurance in with the vet cover these days. Certainly, organisations like the BHS positively encourage training and insurance cover.

But this is getting waaayyyy off topic  :grin:   Sorry Beerangel  :embarrassed:

Saffy:
now it's back on topic... (almost)

Truely these e-pets are surely a complete waste of time, most started by a complete tosser on a subject matter of complete doodoo.
