OK - if the high pressure wand causes injury, I can see the point of this, but if not - what is the harm? The horses probably leave less mess than the average 4X4 owner knocking the mud off from a recent muddin' trip....

I believe this qualifies as a hate crime.

All those rollers and brushes and scrubbers would be horrible for the poor horseies! Not to mention that blast of air at the end! I wonder if he got the hot wax!

[garyb]

Gee, I'd sure like to see chapter & verse for that illegality. Some town council has way too much time on their hands.

Pettit told Yager it was against the law to wash his animals at the car wash and let him off with a warning.

Yager should have asked Pettit to show him that law on the books. I'd bet it doesn't exist.

We have a livestock wash room in our barn. I shower there in the summer for a brisk punch of a shower.

This is an illustration of taxes funding state payrolls which create positions like horsey car wash inspector.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

This story sounds like pure to me.

[Free ThinkerNY]

I guess that means, no car wash for Kerry.

Did he get a little scented evergreen tree to hang on their tails at the end of each wash?

[pa_dweller]

It appears horses are ixnay at the car wash. I wonder though if it'd be OK to wash your ass at one?

I had my 2 bee hives inspected one time by a federally bee inspector - I ain't kidding. Guy walked right through my yard and opened the hives - said he was the man. I never heard of bee inspectors - how do you get one 'o them federal positions??

I bet this is due to environmental restrictions on the car wash operator. They have to filter the water before it enters the sanitary sewer. Horsehair might clog things up.

sure am glad we are paying for the storm troppers to drive around with guns to prevent illegal horse washings...I feel safer now.

America is quickly becoming a police state...I went on a 11 mile drive two days ago and passed 9 cops in cruisers patrolling...and I live in a very small town with almost no crime...oh yea, must be national security.

[ChemistCat]

Oh, this is insane.

Horses generally don't mind the car wash but the undercarriage option can be a real...surprise.

[Prodigal Son]

The funny thing is- from the horses' perspective the car wash is probably the equivalent of a shower massage and they probably really enjoy it. They'll probably spend the rest of their lives wondering why they no longer get the deluxe treatment.

[Thinkin' Gal]

No more horsey wash for
