Another inconsiderate driver experince!

[Brandy]

So, after reading someones elses thread about taking their large ginger horse out alone, and having lots of good experiences with drivers backing up, pulling over etc, I was inspired.

My idiot welsh is not fantastic on his own, but we are working on it. In the last few weeks we have been out several times in company round the same hack, and yesterday I went it alone. It is 95% off road. The first road section, over two bridges, i got off and lead him as he hadn;t settled (he will go anywhere in hand)

On the way home, same road section, he was being very very good so I stayed onand rode. Small white van comes hurtling over one bridge towards me,I am on the other bridge. I do the 'please slow down' signal. He speeds up and bips at me!!

Idiot!!


Thanksfully, I also encountered several other cars that were all lovely and considerate, and also the welsh was totally unconcerned by the van.
Good boy.

it couldnt be more annoying... i posted one of the threads and i was more annoyed at the driver than my horse was! he got over it far quicker than me!

Are the bridges canal bridges?

I used to hack in an area with lots of canal bridges and they really weren't wide enough for a horse and a car on the very top. I ended up having to not stay over to the left (I would ride over the middle for the top bit) for the bridges so that no-one tried to squeeze into a nonexistant space.

I always waved and thanked every driver and I never had any trouble after that.
