Alberta woman threatened with jail time for riding horse around town, rides again

An Alberta woman says she was threatened with jail time for riding her horse down the streets of the town on High River, south of Calgary.
“I love my horses, yes,” said Shelby Opheim, who operates a rescue farm for horses. “My auntie was a barrel racer so I kind of got into it when I was younger.”
She rides her horse Charlie everywhere - even through the drive-thru for coffee. Opheim said this helps Charlie get comfortable in different environments.
About six months ago, Opheim and Charlie began getting into trouble with the law. Opheim said peace officers threatened legal action because she was riding her horse around town.
“They have pulled me over six times in the last six months. The last time was Tuesday. They told me that I was no longer allowed to ride in town. I couldn’t have horses here. I could be arrested and put in jail.”
But as Doug Vaessen reports, that’s when the mayor got involved.

@Dragon_Slayer_Ornstein it's not true at all. A horse can not even come close to the pollution caused by a vehicle in its entire lifetime, even with shutting the vehicle off periodically. You and the other poster only think of the CO emission pollution, with that whole greenhose gas arguement. What about the brake dust that a vehicle produces in its lifetime that something like a horse produces zero of??? Horses also don't produce NOx gasses. To try and compare the two emissions demonstrates the lack of knowledge you have on the subject.

@blobmonster9494 In many places you have to ride along a road and cross roads to get to where you can safely ride. When I lived in southern California, we had to ride along a road and at one place I leased, push the stoplight button to cross a busy road. Not all horse owners have trucks and trailers. And people who ride regularly don't usually take their horses in a trailer to do so. Legally, horses have the right of way. Sadly, many drivers are not aware of that. Yes, accidents can happen. But more accidents happen in cars and we don't ban them. And people on bicycles are at just as much risk of bad drivers as horses are. The only people I ever knew who had a car-horse accident were hit by a drunk driver going way over the speed limit. And I've had horses since 1978.

I live in Bartlesville, OK. We have an old cowboy that rides his horse around town on all types of streets and traffic conditions. He sometimes has a lever action rifle in a saddle scabbard. He always rides slow, he always follows the law. A couple of years ago there was an outcry about him being armed. The police and sheriff were well aware of him and had no problems. He had become an often seen sight and most people, including me, enjoyed this “time-gone-by” sight. After much initial fuss, it was declared that he breaks no law and shall be allowed to continue.

Horse poop can be easily controlled with a poop bag attached behind the horse. No biggie. And, if the poop happens to be in front of your house, pick it up and add it to the soil of your garden like my dad and mom used to do in Maastricht in the 1950s when bread and milk was still delivered with horse drawn wagons.

I live near Lancaster, PA where we literally have horse and buggy parking at the Target and other stores, and we get way more traffic than this place appears to. The fact this town’s peace officers had enough time on their hands to threaten a single rider with JAIL TIME over riding a horse into town just shows this as a case of hand-wringing busybodies who don’t have actual problems to worry about.
