when did horses get banned?
- GoToRO 9y agoDepends on your location. In my country they are banned on highways, national roads and cities or in other words in all those places in which cars rule.
- gpvos 9y agoWell, in the Netherlands and I think most other European countries, they are banned on car-only roads (i.e., motorways and expressways; autosnelweg and autoweg in Dutch). Elsewhere, including cities, they are allowed.
- manarth 9y ago2007, in Romania [1][2]. More specifically, horse-drawn carts were banned. From what I can see, the movement to ban them stems from an argument that horse-drawn carts/carriages are a form of animal cruelty [3]. I haven't seen anything that singles out/bans horses (with riders, rather than carriages) though.
