OK a few strange horse laws for a bit of fun..... *In New York City, it is illegal to open or close an umbrella in the presence of a horse *Horses are required to wear hats in hot weather in Rasario, Argentina. *It’s illegal in Marion, South Carolina, to tickle a female under her chin with a feather duster to get her attention while she’s riding a horse. *A British law states that an Englishman must not sell a horse to a Scotsman. *It is illegal to fish from horseback in Washington D.C *In Guernee, Illinois, it is illegal for women weighing more than 200 pounds to ride horses in shorts. *In the state of Queensland, Australia, it is still constitutional law that all pubs (hotel/bar) must have a railing outside for patrons to tie up their horse. *In Hartsville, Illinois, you can be arrested for riding an ugly horse. *Marshalltown, Iowa, it is against the law for a horse to eat a fire hydrant

bahahah gotta love us aussies XD -Tennessee prohibits riders from lassoing fish. -A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll -In Arizona, it is illegal for cowboys to walk through a hotel lobby wearing their spurs. -In South Carolina, no horses are allowed into Fountain Inn unless they are wearing pants -Pennsylvania law states: ....Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass. If the horses appear skittish, the motorist must take his car apart, piece by piece, and hide it under the nearest bushes.'' BAHAHAHAHA

Now, Queensland sounds most civilised. I take my horse to the Queen's Arms, Botallack (that's about as far west as you can get in the Land's End peninsula), where there's a hitching rail in the car park!

@Marhak yeah Ive never seen a horse in shorts either ;-) @hennaroo, Yeah I would be shocked if there were such laws! What horses eat fire hydrants??!! Or how do you judge an ugly horse?! Although, I would be very shocked to see a 14.5 stone lady riding in shorts too.
