My car smells like s***!
 
My car smells like horseshit. Literally.

Wild horses keep coming down from the hills into my neighborhood to eat our lawns, and end up crapping all over the roads. And instead of cleaning up the piles, my neighbors just drive over them spreading a layer of shit all over the street making driving through it unavoidable.

Now my car stinks from all the crap in the tires and under the car. :mad: I'm posting this from the car wash right now. Hopefully it helps.

Sir, we are not in the business of pooing on your streets.[/horses] :)

They may not be professionally "in the business"... but they're definitely getting the job done. They're also ruining people's lawns.

A paintball gun would clean that right up.

Sorry it is happening, but you can't really blame the horses.

The developers built an all you can eat buffet in their range without fences/walls/gates. Perhaps it should have been in the real estate disclosure...

Get drunk and try to ride them?

Where did I blame the horses?

I blame my neighbors that drive through the piles of shit, instead of picking it up. I scoop up the shit that's on my property and in front of my house before driving through it. And I drive around the shit that's elsewhere in the neighborhood instead of spreading it down the street making it impossible to clean up.

As far as the development... it is surrounded by fences. The horses walk down the street and come in through the main entrances just like all the cars, or walk along the flood relief creek beds until they can get on a street. They actually have to work to get down here. Which says to me, the drought has run them out of food on the hills so they're left eating lawns?

If anything, I feel bad that the horses have to come down into suburbia.

Blame the people that feed them, the people that keep them protected and breeding, and the government agencies that operate in double-standard mode when it comes to invasive species.

Tax dollars at work, eating your lawn.

Some douche was feeding them apples around the corner from my house. :unamused: They deserved the 30 piles of crap the horses left on their driveway.

You didn't.

All neighbors suck. Nick has this real asshole that lives behind him always looking down into his windows from his second story. :)

That whole area was built on a flood plain where the horses likely found good winter pasture before the houses and lawns/gardens went up. Lawns and gardens just taste better than the grass out in the remaining open spaces.

Wanna borrow my .243?

Its all fun and games until the horses start mating in front of your children.

Won't someone think of the children?

Change the street signs to confuse them?

I think you should be safe unless they learn to open doors.:eek:

***They attack from the side!***

You would think your neighbors who are driving over it are having smelly cars too.

I like that picture, though.

Too bad somebody can't harness them, and have them pull a plow down the street on a snow morning. But you said these are wild, right, like Mustang-wild?

100_Percent_Juice 2010-01-26 06:22 PM

Whatever you do, don't give them a football!

Probably not the best time to take up jogging as a hobby ;-)

sperry 2010-01-29 10:35 AM

That reminds me... the street sweeper came by Wed morning and turned all the piles of shit into huge brown/green stripes down all the streets. Then by Wed night, the horses had come back and put new piles everywhere.

There hasn't been this much horseshit in a Reno street since the law wore a marshal's badge and spurs.

MattR 2010-01-29 10:41 AM

This is awesome! You should start a shit in the street blog...

Sheesh, and I thought Stead was shitty.

Jeikun 2010-01-30 08:45 PM

Haha, I was just down there today and it's pretty much everywhere. Kinda gross...
