I was reading the old post about horse hay. The horse hay is realy bad when you add up how much water it takes to grow.Thousands of acre feet of water pumped for horses that !DO NOTHING! Here in the southwest we are running out of water,water tables are droping.

Just like jim said Golf Courses carwash lawns pools for ever that you waste more watter when ya sit on the pot when you can just dig a cathole. I do live in the south and thay do ban the pools watering lawns that way we dont have this little prob. + this town gets there watter for the white river wich one more river flows into it and then a lake. And for the horse I have horses in I work for a race horse farm and did ya ever think the horses think the same thing about you HE IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY AND THE WATER and if your woried about the water well go to the store and stock up.

I agree! We now live with in pistol range of about two dozen automated manure factories on hooves that have moved here within the last two years. The horsie crowd neighbors on two adjoining properties haul in ton after ton of hay but are too lazy to haul off even one road apple. At least the commercial cattle feeders are regulated and have to haul their fly habitat off occasionaly.

There in the southwest you are running out of water because too many people wish to move into your arid desert. Worrying about what little water horses consume PALES besides the amount of water wasted on Golf Courses for the hordes of senior citizens who descend on your desert!

Why doesn't your local government simply refuse to allow any further water usage by refusing any further new water hookups?

Of course that would really restrict the willy-Nilly growth of the area that tried it, but heck, your municipal water works is just selling something they don't have as it is!

You could also close down car washes, ban lawn watering, and the use of swimming pools---even showering!

Think that is waste? Imagine how much water gets pumped onto lawns just to be mowed off.

that is good if it was cash, because we all know that checks from horse people are no good. at least in my part of the country.
