Ever been stalked by a weirdo out hacking on your own

only had once a guy pulled up got out and started to be very strange was on my 16.3 wb that was very aggressive to anyone he didn't know a few snorts and a rear towards him nearly hitting his head hehe he left us alone.
 
poppymoo i think your story about the girl is the strangeist!!!
I have encountered a naked (i mean totally!!) man running towards me at about 8 in the morning in a fairly remote area (i was about 15/16) i just said morning as did he and we merryily carried on our ways!!
some junkies with a knife jumped out the bushes and threatened me with a knife for a lighter (i dont smoke and on a horse did they really think i would have one ??) explain as they could see by my hi-viz i was the police (around me they think everyone in hi-viz is the police), they ran away
a group of topless men running past me (they were out jogging i think) about 20 of them along the old railway line but this was quite a plesant surprise as they were of the rather well toned variety

At a BHS safety conference last year the point was made that you shouldn't use your whip on anyone trying to grab you or the horse because they could easily get the whip off you and use it against you. The advice (from a police officer who teaches self-defence) was to ride the horse into them if you can (we all know how painful that can be!) and/or use your hat as a weapon as it's surprisingly hard. That was the theory anyway ...
 
Ben flashed at before (with an incredibly funny friend who then screamed after him, "put it away its smaller than my sons, and hes 2!!" Made me laugh my head off and said offender legged it as fast as he could looking embarrased).

My mum once got chased by a man on a motorbike once which she said was the scariest thing ever (not least cause her horse was scared of the bike) but the guy kept throwing dead birds at her and telling her to get off her horse or she will end up like the bird. Must have been the scariest thing ever! Put me off of hacking out alone for a very long time.
 
Being a bloke we don;t get that kind of attention

But on the old railway line, where lots of families with kids go walking, I turned a corner to find a young-ish bloke with his trews round his ankles stroking his soldier! He said "Oh sh*t" when he saw me - so I rode straight at him and he staggered off trying to pull up his trousers - and fell straight into a pile of brambles and nettles!!! I did a bit of bellowing at him, then pulled out the phone and called the police. They turned up pretty quick and seemed to know who it was.

A lot of that kind of thing around these days.
 
I was attacked when out riding, he tried to get me off my horse, I whacked him across his face with my whip and got away. He was ehm rather aroused and tbh I found the whole thing terrifying.
The police identified him from my description, he was a known sex offender and ended up being put away for a year. Shortly after being released from jail he raped someone.
I reckon I was lucky
 
Got flashed by a naked man wearing just a bobble hat on Gullane beach East Lothian. He was always there and we ended up christening him "Chilly Willy" as it was always baltic!!

riding out when I was about 13 with two other friends, a guy popped up on the other side of a hedge, with a shot gun over his shoulder and just said ' im watching you!!!'

Like I say - they all seem to live near me!!

Ditto!!! Wasn't near Kettering was it lol?
 
lol at chilly willy.
I can't believe the amount of posts on this, in all my years (and i am old) i have never had any hassle on a hack. the best i have had was a local farmer text me after i had passed him, which said 'have to say, you look really good on that horse'. but he's a friend so it doesn't count.
Some of these sound really scary.

Lol ended up being asked out for a drink by a farmer when I got completely lost once out hacking and ended up in the middle of nowhere and he was busy harvesting in the same field...after seeing me wandering aimlessly round and ended up back in the same fieldabout 4 times he came over finally and got me sorted in the right direction back again along with a drink offer haha XD

My directions are notoriously awful! Wonder how many 'Ever been amused by ditzy lost horse riders...' posts there are on farmers weekly.....loooooool
 
I have had couple of cars follow and once some guy stopped me and offered me £x amount of cash for my boy. I said he werent for sale and they left me alone. But I was on my own I headed off for canter in nearest field.

I was followed today. So I had to make a really long route home because I didnt want them to see where he was kept just incase.

Reading the post about the guy with the funny coloured lid - Strangely my mate has also got one exactly the same. All out for a hack on the school horses through a wood with my mate bringing up the rear. The boss man shouted back to one of the lady helpers and asked if my mate was still with us. Quick as a flash she shouted back "yeah I can still see his purple helmet". 2 of us promptly fell off our horses laughing so hard we were crying. Took a few minutes to realise what she'd said. I have NEVER seen someone turn so red
