Unfortunately where I live our hacking crosses the motorway and we have to regularly ride motorway bridges. This strikes the fear of god in me every single time and makes me feel physically sick. Thankfully my mare is perfect and we always get across without incidedent.
However, there seems to be a recent trend where lorries (in particuar) spot horses on the bridge and lean on their horns which obviously makes the horses jump. I hack out with a couple of youngsters and every time this happens they get very frightened. It makes me cross as I am sure it is only happening for the drivers entertainment- laughing at the frightened horses on the bridge.
Someone please tell me there is an actual reason that the drivers need to do this and it's not some joke!
