Then the question should of read
"Should kids on prancing horses be allowed on the road or kept in fields"
Not having a go, but thats a pretty broad statement for a very specific problem.

I occasionally drive down roads that have horses walking down them. They can be easily spooked and would be very dangerous when out of control. Fast roads are not the place for them the same as they are not the place for small children. Banning them is a bit much though.
I should have said we use to have a horse so know about keeping them
maybe we were lucky and had bridle ways of the field we kept it in
They have as much right to be on the road as you have.

The owners should be made to clean up after them the same as dog owners IMHO
I'd rather have them on the road than on the pavement. We get a lot of them round here and the only thing that annoys me is when they ride side by side to talk to each other.
The problem with riders around here is that they think they own the whole lane and that you should have to slow right down and creep around them
whilst they're shaking their fist at you. Cheeky buggers.
But the one thing that drives me to hell, as mentioned, is them shitting all over the road in front of my house! I don't care if its all natural
and not toxic, I don't want it there!! 
Reminds me of bumper sticker an ex had " I LOVE HORSES...on pitta bread with salad!"
I personally think anyone wishing to use a public road should have to pay Tax and have insurance, also it should be safe to do so. If a car dropped a
kilo of slippery crap out of its exhaust every couple of miles would it get an MOT.
Surely a horse causes more damage to the road than a car??
Again not into banning but should have to clean the road afetwards and pay towards upkeep like the rest of us.

I feel a Dragons Den pitch brewing.......
..... the Horse nappy for when riders take them on the road! Why cant the just have one of those nose bag things round the other end to catch all the
crap?
Thing I don't like about horses is they have brains, very small ones that can easily malfunction if e.g. they see some litter blown across the road, or they hear a loud noise. Any illusion the rider has of control is pretty much that...
We can say that about car drivers, see a cyclicyst or motorcycilcist and will pull out in front - I had a black golf pull out from side road into my path when I was in the F27, fortunately I had room to swerve round.
