You always hear about people being ticked off about dogs crapping on their lawns or on the sidewalks. And they should be ticked off. If you’re a dog owner, you shouldn’t be an asshole and leave a big pile for someone to step in. But if you live where I live, that whole problem kind of gets put into perspective when you come home and find this:

| Now THAT’S a big dog. |
We have wild horses that come down from the hills and cruise around our neighborhood. They leave nice presents on everyone’s lawns. And in the middle of the street. And on the walking paths.

One of the funniest things we saw last year was some dumb bastard who’d obviously just moved into the area and had attempted to put a laughably short, temporary fence around his front yard. Clearly because the horses had come through and “visited” it so many times. My guess was that he didn’t realize where he’d moved to.
There are always people who will hate any given “fill in the blank.” But for me, there’s nothing cooler than driving along and suddenly spotting a random group of horses hanging out in a cul-de-sac. So I’ll deal with the road — or lawn — apples.

An apple a day – – – or 20.
Hehehehe
My recent post Come on Down to the Creek – – – Cranberry Creek!
I agree – that is SUPER DOUPER cool! Wild horses… just the fact that they are still out there is wonderful to me. x
That is so cool to have wild horses come down through your neighborhood. The closest thing we get is deer. Picking up after them is no picnic either.

Yeah, definitely more like twenty. And you should see how the road starts to look when people start running over them. Ick.
So good to see you Maxabella! I know, I think it's super douper cool, too.
YOU would go crazy here. The photo opportunities are nuts. Some people make it their entire schtick.
I would be completely excited to have wild horses romping around my neighborhood! Their 'little gifts' make great fertilizer!

The horses are beautiful. Their poop, not so much.

Are you kidding me????
That is incredible.
Yes,t he photos are OK, but how can the guy think this is alright??
That is SO cool. A drunk fella took a piss up against my garden wall at the weekend. Similar.
If I were a more industrious person, I'd go around an collect the stuff. But…I'm not.
My recent post Table for 99?
True that.
People do really funny stuff around here. I do feel a little badly for the ones from L.A. who move up to Lake Tahoe and have to deal with bears. I don't think they really know what they're getting into.
See, now you should've taken a picture of that.
