| Abstract: |
A new and improved collection device is disclosed which would be attached to the rear of a horse in order to ensure that fecal matter emitted from the horse would be collected in the collection device and not all over a street or other ground surface. The collection device would comprise an inner bag and an outer bag, with the inner bag being emptied when full. The inner bag would be located inside the outer bag, with both the inner bag and the outer bag being placed over a horse's rear end in order to properly collect fecal matter emitted by the horse. Further, the outer bag would be connected to a rear strap, with the rear strap being connected to a series of other straps which would permit the present invention to be removably mounted onto a horse.
