One horse fell off a cliff and another lost her unborn foal after eating dog poo, a farmer says.

Walkers and dog owners have been warned to respect nature, after two horses died at a beauty spot within a week.

One fell off a cliff and another lost her unborn foal after eating dog poo, according to farmer Robert Morgan.

Horses have grazed the cliffs of Rhossili, Swansea, for generations, but Mr Morgan said it has become “a clash between humans and nature”.

    The dog poo, sure.

    How does a horse falling off a cliff have anything to do with walkers/dog owners?

      The article suggests that it’s people getting too close to take pictures, causing the horses to spook.

      I think this is the location also, where a few individuals had actually managed to herd one of the horses off the cliff, it was a big scandal for a while - I’m unsure what happened to the people that did it, if they were even caught.
