Yesterday, I was out on my young(ish) mare, who isn't normally phased by anything.
There's always a first time .
So, out on my own, pootling along, she stops dead after spotting a big coil of blue pipe in a field, in her defence, it was right next to the road.
I could feel her heart banging beneath me, she really wasn't happy .
After trying again to pass it, she turned tail but I managed to stop her.
The next car that came along, I managed to stop him and asked him if he would stop in front of it so she couldn't see it . We gave it a good try but she was still having none of it, so I thanked him and waved him on.
Luckily the road was quiet, so I just sat it out reassuring her until she felt brave enough to pass , which she did after a short while
So, hats off to that driver who was kind enough to put his Merc between blue pipe and a scared horse
Anybody else been pleased by a helpful passer by, even if there help was in vain ?
