I love horses and I think people have the right to let off fireworks... just let your neighbours know!

We have had air bombs going off just about every night since 5th nov,some idiot thinks its funny to let one off every night at around 10pm,not funny as its now 28th dec.I've also had enough of my dog cowering under the table and running for cover in the bedroom.Total ban on sales to public ASAP,then we can all enjoy the controlled displays.

re Nicks comment about horses getting used to fireworks: Most of our horses are used in public displays and are fairly well exposed to noise and other scary stuff, one is a trained movie stunt horse and he is well used to explosions & gunfire etc. Even he was very frightened by whatever it was that the neighbours were setting off, it was like salvos of cannon fire & I would say the dBA levels & ground shock from it were a lot higher than those of another large public display going on at the time which was about 3km away!
