Northland has a bit of a problem – a horse poo problem.  

It’s enough of an issue that a bylaw is being considered that would hold riders accountable for their animal’s droppings. 

However, riders have expressed concern over the risks of collecting the manure near busy roads.  

Far North Deputy Mayor Kelly Stratford told Mike Hosking the bylaw wouldn’t impact people riding on roads, just those in public spaces like town squares.  

She said the consultation is making a mountain out of a molehill.
