Are you fessing up to being a selfish proliferator of cancer causing second hand smoke? And you think it's humorous to talk about inflicting this poison on innocent children, some of whom could be suffering from asthma? You're quite strange, Jimmy. Have you been diagnosed with a personality disorder?

Well, the children won't have to touch horse pee, but thank God I can still have a cigarette and expose them to second hand smoke! Get a life, Katie

It appears both sides have won on this issue. The Va. Carriage Co. has been given an extention to operate through June; thus, during the summer months, leaving the beach free of horses, their smell, their urine, their pathetic faces at being tethered in the hot sun and sand, as well as removing the threat of potential liability issues from folks being trampled while sunbathing. If you, Warren, wish to demonstrate to the rest of us that you don't mind playing in and lying in urine, you best do it soon.

watch out where the horses go and don't you eat that yellow..... sand?

The horses are getting ticked off too....about the children urinating in the ocean. lol

Before panicking, can the writer name at least one disease contracted through contact with urine from any source? People have been known to drink it when in survival situation. Children are not known to wash their hands after a bathroom call. What of all the crops grown by farmers with birds and animals roaming the fields. IS one so naïve to think animals are sanitary about where they do their business? One sees dogs do it against trees. What you don’t see is dogs doing it against your tomato plants. Hasn’t anyone seen his car when parked under trees? Where do you think the dropping go when birds are flying over fields?

The tides moving in and out cleanse the sands. Grow up.

I'm a horse owner and am certain that horses and beachgoers are incompatable. At some point there will be a liability issue that the city will have to pay for.

(Maybe the one thing we can agree on...)
