‘Polite notice, please do not exercise your dog on the racecourse, this is private property. Chief Steward’. Written in pencil on a bit of paper.
So for the record, have done it it many, many times before as have/do many many other dog owners. It’s NOT on the racecourse, it’s adjacent to where they (Ripon Racecourse) have the car boot sales on a Sunday. Saw 3 other folk with dogs on the same area. After chucking the ball & doing a bit of ‘stay, go, stay’ training we went for a stroll down the canal & came back to see said notice under the rear window wiper. There’s no signs, electric fences or anything else that advises people of the owners privacy policy. There’s a vehicle barrier with a sign that says ‘please clean up after your dog’ though.
Will I go to prison next time?
