You cannot allow your horse to eat a fire hydrant.

The Law Explained

Back when horses were the primary mode of transportation, tethering them to fire hydrants was a common nuisance. It seems a horse with a particularly strong bite or an affinity for cast iron caused enough damage to prompt a specific ban. Today, it mostly serves as a hilarious reminder of a bygone era of urban transit.
