Too many times have I been riding and almost get clipped by a car. I know the rule on horses habing the right away are deep inside the textbooks, but they're still there.
I just had a inflating argument with a "non horse person" on this note. He said that horses shouldn't be on the side of the road while people are driving. Really? Come on.
I was with a group of about 40 horses and their riders (of course) and we saw that a car was coming so the stragglers started to get on the same side of the road as us and the car gave no patience to that. It zoomed right by and was literally a foot from all of us. We had no where to go, the car had us right up against a ditch.
Then when cars go speeding right past you over and over as you're riding trying to be "cool". Would it be "cool" if I "accedently" threw a rock and said my horse spooked because of their choices. Would I be wrong?
Sorry, just wanted share a few experiences out of the hundreds. Anyone care to share some of theirs?
