Re: [RC] [RC] Horse ordinances - Barbara McCraryWhen we were in Switzerland in 1985, there was a hog farm and a dairy close enough to a residential area that the fragrances (mostly from the hogs) wafted into the dining room every night. These people have their priorities straight....food production comes first. So many Americans are such fuss-budgets...can't STAND a little animal odor. They're too far removed from being the pioneers who came west.

Ya know, like "sanitary" for a restaurant/or a horsebarn? If it is in keeping with how most people would care for a horse property in the same way,etc. Then there is the 'orginal intent" of the statute. Course if you have a Judge with an "evolving law interpertation", ..... Might be good to contact other barns/riding organizations and get donations started for legal defense, that or if : "yooos, live in da south, ya dun ask round, findin out hoose f fi-lled this here charge and ya burn-nun out" Laurie/Rascal/Honey?ScoutFrom: Lif Strand <lif@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [RC] Horse ordinances Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2003 20:55:46 -0600 One of the towns in our county is prosecuting a horse owner within the town limits because they claim she's broken an ordinance requiring "keeping all buildings and premises in a clean and sanitary condition including the control of flies and odors." She cleans up the horse pens three times a week, carts the manure off the property, sprays twice a week during fly season and has six fly traps for I think 3 horses. I don't know what all else she could do - there's a vendetta going on I think. Anyone have any experience with this sort of situation, maybe some advice? If this is not a proper topic for RC, could people email me privately?
