LIKE G Walker (letters November 20) I too await answers to questions concerning landau horses. Especially as one of the horse owners, who hasn't got the guts to answer readers' questions, has written a sprawling, disgruntled letter to Blackpool councillors. In it, she complains about various things, one being the "vociferous minority" who keep on protesting against her.
May I draw her attention to the last talkback in the local press, which showed an overwhelming opposition to using horses along the busiest road in town. And that talkback was before this latest horrific incident in which a poor horse was killed.
This landau horse proprietor pointed out in her letter that Blackpool's motto is progress, which I thought was odd, as the horse and carriage is a complete opposite. Modern day Blackpool Prom is no place for poor old dobbin.
Before signing off, please may I add another question to the ones already printed. Can this woman guarantee that none of the worn out landau horses are sent for auction?
