But for some reason horse bedding straw has been
reclassified as a different type of waste.

ISTR reading somewhere that horses don't catch BSE
themselves, but can be carriers of it. Since they
show no symptoms of BSE they would be undetectable
carriers.

Quite possibly. The problem is nobody seems to know why the regs have
changed - just that they have.
And of course most horses love exercising in streams which invariably lead
into reservoirs or rivers from which drinking water is taken so the whole
things a nonsense anyway.
