?	Northwood Footpath Posted: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 9:58 AM Yes...............I saw the piles of dung along it yesterday. Im not sure why horses are allowed to foul up the roads etc...........poo is poo in my book and if you ride a motor cycle......its just as dangerous as a pot-hole ! I think you might be right regarding horses not being allowed on a 'footpath'. Any Councillor know the answer ?
?	Northwood Footpath Posted: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 2:48 PM The Ramblers Association seem to have a good reference document, at: www.ramblers.org.uk/info/britain/footpathlaw The point in question is no. 10, and perhaps pedal cyclists should read no. 11 as they are often to be encountered careering down that footpath.

?	Northwood Footpath Posted: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 3:25 PM I agree with the other post with regards to poo is poo if it was a dog you would have to pick it up and as for them pooing on the road my husband rides a scooter to work and his scooter slipped under him after going over a pile of poo on the main rd,why on earth do they have to go on roads anyway? there are plenty of fields around,ive even seen horses up on the field in venner avenue where the childrens play area is,why are these owners of the horses allowed to do so?

?	Northwood Footpath Posted: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 5:21 PM Wow ! Barb...............I couldnt agree more. Roads are for cars etc.................not livestock, without lights and poo sacks. Im happy that they may need to use a main road to get from 'here to there', but some seem to just ride around and around the roads. And its time they had to pick up their own poo.............and display lights when lighting is dim.
?	Northwood Footpath Posted: Thursday, February 11, 2010 12:12 AM Well, yesterday (Wednesday) a horse walked down Nodes Road on the PAVEMENT and then headed down the Newport Road footpath. I now know who the offender is - should I name and shame them??! On a serious note, should we be getting Roger to remind Northwood-ites via his report in the Northwood News that horses should not be on pavements or using footpaths, we won't single anyone out then. I know it sounds pretty petty stuff, but horses are quite unpredictable beasts and I don't fancy being kicked if we meet down the footpath! P Walker
?	Northwood Footpath Posted: Saturday, February 13, 2010 12:05 PM Thanks for all these postings. I am pretty sure that horses are prohibited from these public FOOTPATHS but will get a definitve opinion on this on Monday and post it thereafter. Best wishes, Roger Mazillius
?	Northwood Footpath Posted: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 7:47 AM I have now had confirmation that horses are prohibited (along with mounted cyclists) from these public footpaths.This is particularly important when,as in the case of this CS10,the path is relatively narrow. I have been asked to pass on any intelligence which would help identify these horserider(s). I have also asked for this particular path to be surveyed again with a view to laying road planings or the like to improve the wet/muddy parts. Best wishes, Roger M.

?	Northwood Footpath Posted: Monday, March 08, 2010 7:23 AM Could you please give a description of the horse and rider and the date(s) and time(s). This would be most helpful. Best wishes, Roger Maz.
