A man took to local Facebook group ‘Are You Being Served?’ to address the topic of horses being out on Malta’s streets and what the best approach to this is.
The man, by the name of Denson Gatt, said that whenever someone encounters someone with a horse out on the road, drivers should not honk their horns to force the horse and their owner to move out of the way.
‘If you don’t want the horse to lose control and end up climbing on top of your vehicle, and then making a show on social media, please don’t honk and patiently drive by when possible’ he said.
He also addressed how a horse should not be kept 24 hours in a stable and should be taken out every once in a while. He highlighted an apparent hypocrisy whenever people post on social media with captions ‘Only in Malta’, when the danger is created by these same people.
The post was met with a mixture of reactions, some agreeing whilst others pointing out that horses should not be on Maltese roads.

Some said that roads should be reserved for cars as the horses pose a danger to drivers. Others asked people with horses to avoid hours of traffic. Some even said that the cars and horses can co-exist on the road as all it takes is some prudence and respect. What do you think?
