Road Map

Where We Are

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.
