This has happened to me twice; both times I was riding my Dales gelding alone. The first time was on Dartmoor and the second time during the Golden Horseshoe on Exmoor. I think these ladies did really well in the situation they found themselves in.
We have had some on Dartmoor. Many years ago we had a really nasty Dartmoor stallion that used to attack ridden horses for a pastime. We also had a large area of common with a herd of Shitland mares and their stallions. It was simply not safe to ride over that area. Fortunately they are now gone.
