Horses have as much right on the road
as any other vehicle.
PLEASE! Slow right down and pass wide.
|
If the public knew, understood, comprehended, just
how fast a horse can move in any direction when a horse gets a fright,
the drivers would hopefully take that into consideration when passing horses
on the road and slow down and pass wide.
|

A horse is a "flight animal", no matter
how well schooled, trained or under-control they are, they can get a fright
and jump. It is instinct over thousands of years of being a prey animal,
no training can override that. All we can do is desensitize our horses to as
much as possible.
When we as guides wave the traffic to slow down lots
of drivers wave back, hoot and accelerate. It just takes a flying stone from
under the vehicles wheel to hit us, the splash from a puddle of water, the
rattle of an overloaded trailer for a horse to get a fright.
We have spent hours desensitizing the horses to traffic
and our horses are better behaved than some vehicle drivers and are used to
road rage and bad manners. As a result you as a rider can relax, our horses are totally
bomb proof, they have seen it all.
Ignorance is one thing but why some drivers, how, even after being
educated, lose their class and respect for others when they see horses on the road.
It constantly astounds us just how inconsiderate the human race can be.
