I am still shacking where this has shook me up so much! driving back home from the yard today with mum in our 4x4 we spotted two horseback riders coming out of a field about 300 yards in front of us, no hi vis, horses on loose rein etc. we slowed right down and turned radio off etc. as the horses passed us the horse at the back of the group shyed into teh road, losing its balance and almost sat on the side of the car. the rider was clinging onto its neck for dear life. the horse looked so scared and tried to bolt off. lucky the rider regained control quickly.
no contact was made between horse and car but it shook both myself, my mother, the horse rider and her friend up.
TBH the horses and riders should have been in hi vis and the riders should have taken the horses off a loose rein when passing our vehicle. it was an accident waiting to happen that luckily nerve happened.
I know next time i go out ill wear HI vis and carry a whip! (which the rider didnt have..)
