The dog poo, sure.
How does a horse falling off a cliff have anything to do with walkers/dog owners?

The article suggests that it's people getting too close to take pictures, causing the horses to spook.
I think this is the location also, where a few individuals had actually managed to herd one of the horses off the cliff, it was a big scandal for a while - I'm unsure what happened to the people that did it, if they were even caught.
But I hung my poo baggie on a tree! That's literally the most responsible thing you can do!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Walkers and dog owners have been warned to respect nature, after two horses died at a beauty spot within a week.
One fell off a cliff and another lost her unborn foal after eating dog poo, according to farmer Robert Morgan.
Horses have grazed the cliffs of Rhossili, Swansea, for generations, but Mr Morgan said it has become "a clash between humans and nature".
In September, people taking selfies caused a new-born foal to fall to its death.
On Facebook, Mr Morgan posted that the horse that lost her foal 10 weeks before birth "likely ate the dog faeces being left in bags".
It was a "travesty" that another horse had fallen from the cliff, only months after a similar incident, said Mr Morgan.
