Riding mare with foal at foot?

[TheMule]

I can't begin to comprehend why on earth people would risk this anywhere near a road. Surely it's hugely dangerous not just for the foal but for other road users.

Anyway, no, I'd never ride a mare with a foal at foot.

The foal was being led, not loose and it was 23 years ago in a rural area so not much traffic. My foal loved going out with her mum.
