Oregon Riding on Public Roads Statutes
I'd like to ride my horse through the small town next to where I board in order to get to a very nice multi-use trail that starts there (once it's summer again... I have no interest in doing that right now!) but was told that the town has banned horses on its streets. Someone else told me that they aren't actually allowed to ban horses on the main street (the only street I would need to ride on) because it's a state highway. The link above is the only one I could find that cites actual laws, and the only one that seems to apply is this one:
Quote:
| Each incorporated community within this state has power, by law or ordinance duly enacted, to regulate the use of its streets by horses and other animals to the extent that bridle paths may be designated upon certain streets and the animals may be prohibited on other streets. |
