i do generally try to ride with someone else but this is not always poss. i do always wear a hi viz bib with slow down on it.
and yes i also will wait 4 what i call a safe gap, even if it does mean waiting 5 mins lol.
but even with the bib on i have encountered some real idiots, my friends horse...
how long have you had your horse on loan?
i would contact the owner to find out if this is something that is common with her or something that has just started some horses do have excess mucuss and you may be worrying unduely
i have had my horse a while now but still get very nervous when i hack out on her as i have had some really quite nasty experiences in the past, she has not done anything horrendous yet but she is quite spooky a carrier bag is a monster waiting to get her. any ideas how i can overcome my nerves
there is a cream that someone at our yard uses it comes from america its called Aromaheel i have used it on my mare with excellent results its not very expensive either and smells really nice (lavender).
you only need to apply it twice a week and it really works
