Does making a horse wear a diaper constitute an infringement upon its owner's religious freedom?

Perhaps wary of a fight over civil rights as they pertain to the regulation of horse excrement, local officials in Ebensburg, Cambria County, dropped consideration of an ordinance requiring operators of horse-drawn carriages to affix "containment devices" to the business ends of horses as they clip-clop through the newly beautified downtown streets.

Ebensburg, population 3,100, has a small community of Amish that drive their buggies into town from small farms. Active participants in the farmers market and other businesses, they usually keep to residential side streets, said Ebensburg Mayor Charles Moyer. Occasionally, their horses dump a load of manure directly in front of someone's house.
