I had'nt been able to get my mare out for the last week as aound us our roads were still slippy and i have no school. I got out of work early and asked my fiance to pull her in from the field to save me five minutes doing it. She stood like a gem not even calling for the others she has been with 24/7 for the last week and abit.....i was very pleased.
I put the chambon on as i knew her head carriage would be high as she has missed her hacks and need her more together (trainer advised to use it) so i have a nice hack and coming to end i stop to take chambon off 5min from home so she can relax (or put her head high to look over hedges!). She is perfect for a 5yr old, i find a ditch and 'launch' myself back on, she's sooo gd she stands until i ask her to move on.
I live on country roads were everyone knows each other are courteous and would know the horses either stop for a chat or slow right down.
It was 5:15pm i had flourescents on and it wasn't dark i was coming along the straight bit just before me house there is a bend (slight) to the right. My dogs always come with me and some eeeeeeeeedddddddddgit flys round the corner and both dogs launch into the hedge and he still doesn't slow. I flag him down to go slower and he keeps coming!!! I then put my mare across the road to block it and he just about stops thank gdness she is'nt bothered about cars but that is not the point, it could have been one of the youngsters i was on.
He then mouths i should be in the hedge! So i gesture that he winds down the window so he refuses and i swear alot at him and he drives on. In my anger i didnt take his reg but i will report him tonight. What if that was a child, a walker or anbody else im still infuriated
