Rural living - just don't keep horses

My first Township Townhall Meeting in our village. Interesting, to say the least. The reason JP and I, together with a large audience of horse owners, attended was the discussion on changes to the definition of ‘front yard fencing’. After some discussion the board decided to postpone to definition on what/how the front yard fences should be and learn more safe fencing for horses. Very sensible.

 Not so sensible was the couple in front of me, I was about to hit them over the head: They live in an area zoned “Rural” and complain about having to see horses and other animals! What in the world did they think “rural” means – McMansions?!?
