Of course you shouldn't have continued - same as you shouldn't walk into road works on foot/cycle on a closed road!

BUT he does sound amazing - you're really lucky :-)

I did clarify in my OP that we have lots of "road closed" signs left randomly around here from floods from ages ago and that we are always moving them out of the way when the council don't come to pick them back up - I really didnt think it WAS actually closed!

BUT thank you yes is is amazing although I wasnt saying that this morning when his muzzle was being worn as a pelican bib haha.
 
Ha he sounds like my cob - which nothing seems to faze. On a hack last week round our normally peaceful village I met:

A large tractor and very rattly trailer.
Two lots of road works - as the men looked up and saw me coming I thought they would turn off the diggers, but no they carried on. My cob didn't even pause - just kept going. And we were rewarded by a round of applause from another of the roadworks team who was watching.
And finally as we passed a skip outside a house that is being renovated a builder came out and tipped a large bag of rubble in. My cob did a few little steps forward then, and the builder was met with a stiff glare from me and a "well thank you very much for that" but then we just carried on.

I'm so glad he is such a good boy. Everyone here loves him and I have nervous friends queuing up to ride him.
PS: In the school or when jumping he can be a proper prat - so he is not always a saint.

What a fab horse! Well done both of you!
I also have men stopping their vans to ask if they can buy my horse and tell me hes wasted with me and it drives me mad. I tell them hes 20 years old now (hes 9) as I nearly got followed all the way home once!

I have done that before. I had a fellow in a van ask about my coloured mare and my friends. I told them mine was in her late 20's and my friends was crippled with arthritis!
 
What a good pony/horse you have :)

I work with road workers, tarmac and all that jaz...... So pony see's them as someone to talk to who may have sweeties in their pockets :D

The most worrying was when we met the gritter lorry, I knew the driver and he was fab slowed right down and kept one eye on me and King and the other on the road. Well King didn't even look at it just plodded passed, it was spreading grit as well!!!

I felt like OP I wanted to cry with how brave and good he was, I to need to remember the good things about my pony when he's got jit head on :D
