Abstract
We show that the horocycle foliations on a compact C-infinity (or even C-om ega) surface of non-positive curvature can fail to be Lipschitz, even if th e curvature vanishes only along a single closed geodesic. We calculate the Holder exponents of these foliations at vectors tangent to geodesics along which the curvature vanishes.
