What view are you trying to ascribe to me, Walt? I thought I had made it clear enough, did I not say “…so my attitude is that the mess is unpleasant and the owner should clear it up…”?
Are you trying to make it sound as if I said that the mess should be left? All I am saying in addition to the above is that in real terms the risk is very small, which is beyond denial - compared with the risk of being hit by a vehicle it is microscopic!
I’ve not set foot on the North York Moors since getting megablisters doing the Lyke Wake Walk many years ago (I think it was 1977) but I’ll make a note of it. Rest assured I always go out with a pocket full of little black bags!
Anyone know how many horse owners take plastic bags
with them when out for a ride…
AND USE THEM
I remember in the 1940s, my grandmother used to go out into the street with a shovel after the milkman’s horse and cart had been past in the mornings. She said there was nothing better than horse manure for fertilising the roses!

P.S. Shall we now start a thread about why you never see white dog poo in the summer any more?

absolutely correct! I still do it today, although it is not the milkman’s cart I go after. Well, living in the countryside nowadays does have certain advantages
