That's exactly what the lawyer has done.  The judge agrees that the 
ordinance is too vague, and told the Village they must define their 
terms.  I have been asked by the judge what, as a horseman, I feel is 
reasonable, but more importantly, how the ordinance could be amended to be 
less vague.

I'm hoping someone out there knows if there are any ordinances/laws which 
specify such things as how to determine when a place is sanitary enough 
(that is, non-arbitrarily, measurably, so that anyone, horseman or 
non-horseman, could determine so), and, more importantly, what the method 
of measurement would be.

As long as there is no way to quantify or measure "sanitary" or how many 
flies are too many, the ordinance can always used the way it is being used, 
as a tool for a personal vendetta.
