So, I live in a small town in Sweden, around 25k ppl. And I'll just leave this article here:
(sorry for the Swedish article, will translate the general points of it)
http://nwt.se/kristinehamn/article1065558.ece
and my slightly edited ps of it:
http://i.imgur.com/h4g9t.jpg
The article basically says that they want a "Horse parking lot" in the middle of our town because there's nowhere to park your horse when you go to town to shop or w/e you do. They also want the local "riding school" to clean up the mess made by the horses when they stand there. A little heads up, their "base of operations" is around... 5-10 km outside the city centre, and I strongly doubt that they are willing to take care of that.
Well... In my almost 18 years of living in this town I've never seen a horse in the town, outside yeah, loads, but never within the city centre, I don't know if this is because there haven't been a parking lot for the horses, but I honsetly doubt it. One does not simply take their horse to go shopping. In my honest opinion I believe it's just a waste of time and money.
So what do you think, will this increase the appeal of our little dying town? Will we see an increased amount of horses in the city centre?

Business idea!
Introduce fines for people leaving horse crap everywhere, and sell horse nappies.

Ahahahahahaha. No, i doubt that'll make much difference. As you said, no one takes their horse to go shopping. And i don't really see much else to do in the centre with a horse. Apart from parking it in the lot. Obviously i don't know how many horse owners there are in and outside of the town. If they go through with it, i hope they'll do a survey or something like that first. Who knows, it might appeal to a lot of people.
Still funny though

Do they have a traditionnal blacksmith and a little church in your town?
If so, recruit fit and healthy RPG players (hard to find, I know) then start a templar knights chapter, and patrol the area wearing shiny steel armors and wielding claymores (the sword, not the anti personal mine) while riding horses.
You will have great success patrolling the mall and school district. No more scoundrels and rascals tagging the walls. All shall die by your mighty, god-driven, justice blades, hearing nothing else than your sermons of wrath before passing out.

You can also try this with black-powder revolvers, santagio boots, checkered shirts, and stetson hats. Not sure if allowed by police though...
Have fun!

Having lived in what's called Amish County for about 90% of my life, I can attest to the fact that horses, and those that use them as a primary means of transportation, are effing ANNOYING. They destroy the roads, especially so around here with those damned buggy wheels carving ruts in the road, as well as constantly leaving horse shit everywhere.
Anyone that says "Horses are intelligent, beautiful creatures" needs to be slapped, then stuck on one of our highways scraping horse shit for a few days in the spring/summer so they realize the error of their ways...
