To the 2 people out horse riding on Sunday, near to Wix Equestrian Centre in Colchester around 11am.
One was on a Grey horse, approx 14-15hh. She was wearing hi vis and her horse had a hi vis exercise sheet on (and possibly hi vis bandages??). She was accompanied by a rather cute coloured of similar height. The female rider was wearing hi vis.
We were driving along quite a small country lane, which had hedges and was lined with trees, with some quite blind bends. Not going fast. However, the hi vis meant we saw the horse riders some distance off through the small gaps in the hedges. Gave us a chance to stop the horse box in a space wide enough for them to safely pass, and meant we slowed down nice and safely.
Both horses passed us calmly and sensibly ... then spooked at something as they passed us
Everyone is very quick to post when they see riders who aren't wearing hi vis. So here is a praise thread to some very sensible riders, who were also polite in waving their thanks to us for stopping. Who knows if they'll ever see this, but I was very impressed with the distance away we could see them, because of their hi vis, even though the road was quite densely lined with trees and hedges. The bright yellow exercise sheet was particularly visible.
