All I'm saying is thankgod I was on Montycob!
What is it with drivers and underestimating the width of their cars?
My nearest village is just going through development of 120new houses, so roads are being dug for gas, pavements fenced off, etc- hence why I rode Oshk in school and took bombproof cob out (road VERY busy on a saturday)
1/2 of the road had been fenced off by pretty red and white things, and there was a lovely yellow JCB dancing about, so I thought I would give it a little bit of room incase Monty decided he didn't like it.
Now I also had out with me a 10year old child on a sweet little pony- someone who I ride for's daughter, so obviously I had to make sure she was safe too.
Obviously Mr Mondeo behind me had places to go, he tried to overtake me but there was a car parked at the other side of the road, so he stuck his head out of the window and said, very rudely "Move your F*cking horses out of my way" to which I replied a very pretty middle finger. When he accellerated past me at first given opportunity at a rather alarming speed and almost knocked little girl off pony I gave him a hand gestures, not wanting to swear in front of child. He indicated to pull up..my heart sank. Little 4ft man comes storming upto me yelling, I asked him not to swear in front of child, he swore more, but as he got upto monty he must have realised how big his feet were. He stopped a few feet away and said to me
"Who do you think you are, riding on the road and shouting at me, horses shouldnt ride on the road, it is a legal neccesity they walk on the pavement, and he suggested I f*ck off and use the bridlepaths next time."
I was so so mad with him, I walked Monty forwards until his head was towerng over the little man's before pointing out that no, actually it is illegal to ride on pavements and he was in a 30 zone, where he was, when he overtook me, exceeding.
