No Horseback Riding And No Dogs Allowed On School Grounds

I came across this sign at our school and the wood is badly weathered and the paint is peeling. I’m assuming that at one time this sign was hanging in the playground area and it informed people that there was no horseback riding or dogs allowed on the school grounds. It made me think how much the community has changed over the years. Our school is over 50 years old and many years ago people who lived in this area were probably able to keep horses. Today it’s a suburb and part of a city where many people commute to work. There is no longer the open space needed to raise and ride horses. I was wondering if any of the parents or grandparents who grew up in this area remember this sign? Did it hang on the school playground area at one time? I’m sure my students would be really interested to know more about this sign and its history at our school. Anything you could teach us about this sign would be appreciated.

  1. That is a really cool sign. I wonder how old it is. That must be along time ago because they rode horses to school then. I’m glad I’m allowed to bring my dog to school.

  2. My Grampa was 27 yrs old 50yrs ago and lived in my house now. He told me that there were horses that lived on North Road back then.

  3. Wow that picture must be pretty old we don’t ride horses to our school any more. But I wish we still did.
