the ones i know of are 'stabled' in port melbourne, at least once a week taken to rural properties (little river or phillip island, with extended periods in the country during off-seasons) and exercised. the horses are always well fed and kept warm.
well i didn't think they would be starved or anything like that..
my ex used to live near the cnr of Abbotsford & Arden St in North Melbourne and some nights at around 1am we could hear the horses coming up Arden St - So assumed there's a stable somewhere around there..
just couldn't imagine anywhere around there being particularly horse friendly for any length of time...

Responsible for faecal pollution at beaches.
implying you've never pissed in an alleyway.
Yeah, I don't want to hear about how you "lovingly accomodate" horses.

I recently went to a wedding where the bride, who weighs close to 120kg, rode a horse into the church. Poor horse was buckling under the weight.

It is faecal pollution.
Photo is from Princes Bridge.
There's also plenty of horse urine. That waste has to go somewhere:

It is the amount of faecal pollution in the water that is making the beaches unsafe for swimming. They would otherwise be safe.
Melbourne does not have a significant problem with dog or human faeces on streets. The only source is the horse-drawn carriage services in or near the CBD.
Horse dung.
There are no daily or routine police horse patrols. In fact, the police no longer have horse stables near the CBD.
The horse faeces is usually found just before or on the bridge. This is where, I suspect, the carriage operator commands the horses to defecate.
Similarly, horses can be commanded to urinate. This is why the urine is found at only one location (where the photo was taken).

Courtney Street, North Melbourne:
Location of urination area; Linlithgow Avenue intersection with St Kilda Road:
Notice the erosion of the road surface. The operators have nerve to blame it on the police, especially now the police rarely use this area for mounted patrols.
