Got screamed at and called a miserable cow today

Umbogo that's terrible, how can people ...other horse riders for that matter be so rude and down right dangerous, its beyond belief!
If I'd of encountered that situation on my horse, well the thought isn't worth thinking about, the accidents that can be caused.
Best not read anymore of these, its making my blood boil!

I know!! Needless to say my horse was quite nervous along that part of bridleway ever since that incident, I thought he was a bit of a saint to have pratted about on the spot and not gone hell for leather after them. I had heard later that the 2 women had a bit of a bad reputation and were a menace to walkers, horse riders, cars etc.

Horserider....I would have LOVED to have seen that!
 
And you wonder why horses are being banned from everywhere, if this is how riders treat each other. Manners don't cost anything but they are lacking in everyday life no matter what hobby or lifestyle we my have. If people treated each other with a bit more respect, then maybe there would more places where people could walk, cycle or ride on the same routes and be able to enjoy the countryside together.
Sorry if slightly soap boxy!!!!

OOoh, here's my kindred spirit!! Treat people like you would want to be treated yourself, give people respect, take responsibility for your actions and the world would be a better place!

What rude buggers the other riders seemed, obviously if something had happened it would have been down to your poor riding skills rather than them getting the wind up your horse, stupid prats!

Again, see above reply... I really wasn't trying to offend you, you know. I am well aware there are rich chavs as well as poor ones....

What a silly statement. There are plenty of rude wealthy people around (and polite poor ones!). Despite my working class roots I do know that its good manners to walk past other horses. I do of course doff my cap and bow and scrape to my betters as I do so!

Very bad behaviour from the other riders, no matter what their social class! Shame you don't know where they come from, I'd bet her face would be a picture if you turned up on her yard to confront her about her rudeness.
 
What a horrid woman! And those two others that were on those hunters :(

I'd like to say that it's true, that if more riders set a good example and were polite to others whilst out, that we'd get more access and a better rep, but I don't think that's the case. The number of cyclists and walkers I've come across on bridlepaths - or even roads - who are ill-mannered and abusive beggars belief, yet no one cares.

A couple of months ago I was riding along a bridlepath at a steady canter, and saw a couple of dog walkers in the distance so immediately went back to walk to pass them. Once I drew level, one of the dogs went for the horses, snapping at their legs, terrifying the poor ponios (who, given full credit, pranced rather than galloping off). Did the guy call his dog off, or apologise? No, instead he threatened to shoot the horses if one of them touched his dog (and as the only yard in the area it wouldn't be hard to find us).

People really do tend to suck. :(

Seriously ????:D

People have taken the chav comment seriously ????

Those that have taken this seriously will you also be taking the retaliation suggestions seriously as well?????

From here on in will there be gangs of mad riders galloping up lanes brandishing whips or even duracell batteries :D after rude idiots ??

Yee gods - the world has gone mad !
 
Hahahahahaha, so true Cronkmooar!!! Perhaps the police would then set up 'Operation Something-or-other' to deal with the growing threat to the nation, and there'd be a special taskforce to deal with it? Perhaps a division of Mounted Police, so you'd have police on horseback chasing marauding riders chasing other riders and cyclists through the countryside...? Hmmm... That actually sounds pretty entertaining (as well as pretty medieval)!!!

Operation Rabbit??

Polite People galloping: "Rahhh... I will thwack thou chavs with this 'ere whip"

Galloping Chavs: "Miserable Cow!"

Operation Rabbit: *blows whistle* "Stop that, or I will radio my people and they will throw down the STINGER!"

Easy now - some people will think this is really going to happen:D:D:D

**wanders off to see if aged nag is up for persuing idiots at speed**
 
Good point cronkmooar...

I will edit to say "This dramatisation is 100% jest"
 
OMG yes! I love it when a plan comes together ;) It would certainly be a way of keeping fitness levels up...

And Tallyho, I love the Operation Rabbit line - BEWARE THE STINGER!!!!

Sorry, my mistake. I thought jokes were meant to be funny :-)

They are if you think so, I'm sorry you didn't. I'll try harder next time.

Anyway, look, I wasn't trying to offend. I was trying to comfort the OP by making light of the situation like you do to cheer a friend up. Now, if you can't see that, please don't have a go at me. There really is no need for it.

Just ignore me - lots of people do.

I hadn't actually read as far as you saying it was a joke before I posted - that'll teach me to read the whole thread next time before I jump in with both feet! I guess humour doesn't always come across from the written word unless you are on the other person's wavelength but I will try harder to see the funny side in future :-)
 
let me know the next time you want a huge hairy A**e to help you, as with my chap (small but perfectly formed NOT!!) when they come charging like that, he accidentaly moves his rear end in the way, such a shame, when they have to come to a near dead stop!!!!

mmmmmmmmmmmmm :p
