I also remember this guy who came around with a horse and cart and collected old rags, for which he would give you a goldfish.

This is a funny thread, the last one I saw was in ossy yesterday around 7 o'clock when I was waiting for the bus. Again it was probably the same one already mentioned thats small and cars struggle to get around it on the road.
I personally think its a hazard as its not easy to see really.
I know theres more than one horse and cart owner in ossy though, i've seen some women on a bigger one about 2 month or so back aswell.

I don't know if this counts, but I saw a massive pile of steaming horse turds in the middle of Ontario St. today! I didn't see the perp, or his cart; but it is wedding season and the guys from Wolfe Island bring over thier horses and carts to give drunken wedding guests a safe and celebratory ride.
