Any excuse for a good pun

but heres some info too!

horseys are apparently 3.4x as dangerous as motorcycling, and thats done per hour, imagine what the risk factor would be done per km

or per horsepower

I'm surprised this thread is so slow. Normally people would be champing at the bit.

...may be just a lot of horse-shit...

And they wonder why the human population is growing exponentially. Jeez.... Maybe we should bring back these horse-drawn carriages.

And that is different from buying a bike how?

Just think. Distance will then be measured in bags of oats/ 100ks

..bag of oats only adds up to horshit too...

Funny how this sort of thing always bridles people up, but as I say, horses for courses! It'd be a real nag if gubbermint got on it's high horse for this issue, they need a good whipping to keep them down. Now if we get saddled with the ACC levy for this, I daresay there will be a stampede of opinions! A real nightmare thats for sure! Oh shod it, I've run out of things to say, neigh, I think others will trot along to liven this thread up again!

How much do equestrians pay in ACC levies I wonder..?

I suppose they'll trot out all sorts of reasons to continue paying none...

Why the long face?

Did you have to go and stirrup the ACC issue again? It seems like this has been withers for ever!
