Just a quick one- when riding out on the roads on my 4yo yesterday (with sensible companion as it was her first hack since october having had time off with saddle issues!) We came across another rider trotting towards us on the other side of a single track road.
To pass us he didnt slow down, just kept on trotting past fairly close to ours. This certainly wasnt a problem to us as our horses couldn't care less but I have always been taught to pass at a walk as you dont know how other peoples horses are likely to react. What are other peoples views on this? How do you pass others?
Im merely asking out of curiosity as I expect my horse to behave in these circumstances, but know others that may kick up a stink!!
