And do they have to pay the Congestion Charge?

Emissions on a one horse power vehicle are going to be pretty low I would suggest.

They're high emission and certainly causing a lot of traffic issues around Aldwych.0

Think they may be vegan if that helps ?Chizz said:And do they have to pay the Congestion Charge?1 -
They have not been saddled with it yet, if it ever applies to them they will have to arrange a whip round, maybe.6

At least one poor horse seems to have a lot of blood on him. Have seen the HC locally where one rider often is leading a 2nd horse, so can understand two getting loose if one rider was unseated as is being reported. Thankfully all 5 now reported as being caught and hope they and the injured are all OK.1

This kind of shows how old I am. When I first started at the Bank of England in 1970, there was a guy still working there whose first job at the Bank was shoveling horse shit out of the bullion yard prior to the Bank starting to use mechanised transport to shift the heavy stuff. He told me the pollution and chaos from the horse-drawn traffic had to be seen and smelt to be believed.
By 1900, the City of London was drowning in horse manure. There were 11,000 hansom cabs, several thousand horse-drawn buses, needing 12 horses per day, not to mention various carts and drays. In excess of 50,000 horses in the City with each horse knocking out between 15-35 pounds of manure a day. This attracted huge numbers of flies and spread typhoid fever and other nasty things. Then there was the 2 pints of urine per day per horse. On top of this, the life expectancy of a working horse was only three years and carcasses were left in the streets to putrefy as it was then easier to saw them up into bits for removal.

A horse's maximum power output is actually about 15hp. James Watt coined the term in relation to a specific amount of power produced by a horse in a field doing some sort of activity.AddicksAddict said:

If they are not then that is great news.
I have identified as an Arabian Thoroughbred horse for months now and demand my rights, please refer to me as يطير مثل الريح from now on ...
Alright, I also drive a diesel Mondeo, but Chizz started this stupid thread in the first place!

I saw 2 horses outside charing cross this morning running up the road from trafalgar Square. These same horses now appear in all the pictures on the news... one of them appears very bloody which I didn't see so maybe happened after...0

Seven horses broke free in central London this morning. There was damage and injuries, and they were spread as far apart as Victoria and the Aldwych.0

The injured have been taken to horsepital.

Interestingly, unlike dogs, their poop on the streets is not an offence.0

Conversely if it is on a fence it isn't on the streets.Valiantphil said:Interestingly, unlike dogs, their poop on the streets is not an offence.1 -
Looks like they are doing over 20mph to me. Old Bill will have them on a speed awareness chorse.0

Three of the Household Cavalry horses that were injured after they bolted through London are likely to take part in the King's Birthday Parade later this month.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said all five military horses injured on 24 April were continuing to make "remarkable progress".
