Strange Horse Laws

Thanks to Lynda Polk at Hoofbeats for compiling some of the wackiest equine-related laws ever on the books.

The links below will take you to her entire lists.

My personal favorites are:

It’s illegal in Marion, South Carolina, to tickle a female under her chin with a feather duster to get her attention while she’s riding a horse.
Tennessee prohibits riders from lassoing fish.
Horses are required to wear hats in hot weather in Rasario, Argentina.
In Guernee, Illinois, it is illegal for women weighing more than 200 pounds to ride horses in shorts.
In Waco Texas, it’s illegal to toss a banana peel on the streets because a horse could step on the peel and slip.
A misworded ordinance in Wolf Point, Montana: “No horse shall be allowed in public without its owner wearing a halter.”
In Raton, New Mexico, it is illegal for a woman to ride horseback down a public street with a kimono on.
In Marshalltown, Iowa, it is against the law for a horse to eat a fire hydrant.
In Hartsville, Illinois, you can be arrested for riding an ugly horse.
