Ffs, what's the point of trying to catch something you can't eat? -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6 DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#6 FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12? UKRMMA#19 COSOC#10
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Champ <Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall Mode> It's not widely known that Fox can actually be very tasty. You just need to rub it with a little wild garlic, marinade it in cuttlefish ink and then eat it raw. </HF-WM>
SNIP! Hmm, that rules out most forms of public transport - and also explains why I was a lousy slip fielder in my cricketing days. It could also explain the low crime clearup rate. Tony

I knew I wasn't imagining them (bottom picture) http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/ll/ll55.htm and a description taken from: http://www.heavyhorseworld.co.uk/horseboating.htm "The dangers for the horse if it slipped and fell in the cut were serious and constant. Even the smallest canals were two or three feet deep at the edges with soft silt below that, and getting the animal out again before it became chilled, exhausted or drowned was the boatman’s constant dread. Some waterways had proper ramps built down into the water precisely for this emergency, and a few others had a coping stone missing every mile or so with a removable wooden board across the gap. This gave the horse at least one step below the water level to get himself out, but no doubt sod’s law would ensure that wherever the horse fell in there wouldn’t be a convenient answer to getting it out nearby"

So what are all those cowbys' horses doing swimming the Rio Grande? And what about race horses recovering from injuries with hydro-therapy?

That's not too bad - sucking the ingested water out of its arsehole is considered a different matter, generally. YMMV, of course.
