Horses on the road. Yes, in a city as big as Las Vegas, we still see people that ride horses for transportation. Many times you will see this in North Las Vegas or in the Northwest part of the valley.
So a viewer asked me…. are they allowed in the road?
Well, here’s the answer. There are no clear cut laws on this, but basically, police say horse riders must follow the same rules of the road as bicyclists.
Pedestrians have the right of way. You must walk your horse across the cross walk.
And, most importantly, police say you MUST pick up after your horse!! If you know what I mean!
I know a lot of horse lovers in town, and we want every one of them to be safe.
I received many emails from people after I aired my What’s Driving You Crazy?! segment on this.
Susan from Pahrump made a good point! She says, “Not just here, but all around the U.S. people are using their horses as A means of transportation. Why? The increase of fuel stops alot of us from doing alot of the things we used to enjoy. If you need A loaf of bread and the store is only A couple of miles away it is more fuel efficient to hop on your horse instead of in your car. ”
I love it!
