Basically, last night I took my youngster for a walk (inhand) as something different to do as Im working on getting his ground work established before I back him.
Any traffic that I thought was coming too fast I waved my arm to tell them to slow down (I was wearing hi-vis aswell like I always do just to be safe).
Luckily my youngster is great with all types of vehicles so he didnt bat an eyelid,but hes a bit spooky going past the church we have to pass.
A few people did slow down and I thanked them, but I was mortified by how many people came past us at like 60mph even a van with a trailer attached to it!!! When they could clearly see he was a bit spooky going past the church (nothing serious just moving out into the middle of the road a little bit to have a look). Its quite a narrow lane where 2 cars can just pass one another, but I thought how inconsiderate they were to be driving past at such speed he could have really spat the dummy out and sat on one if he wanted!
I was really annoyed!!!
Sorry, it doesnt sound as bad now Ive written it down, but I just thought people need to think about their actions when driving past horses as at the end of the day theyre animals and can be unpredictable at times.
