I once got stuck on a spooky horse out hacking. Got it past a plastic windmill, but then would n't pass the butchers awning and wouldn't go back past the windmill. A nice person stop and held the traffic while I danced down the middle of the road.
 
I was hacking through a quiet wood in Oxfordshire once and had just decided to have a little canter up a grass track when I spotted a couple walking their dog. I cursed silently and walked on toward them. They stopped for a chat and to admire my horsey (who was quite beautiful!!) and it turned out they were from a small village in Scotland near to where I was born and brought up! We chatted for ages and I think it made both our days!

when I fell off at the show last week a lady came and held George, and generally helped us out, and checked later that I was ok, and the friend I had gone to the show with said 'that was handy that your friend was here today' and I had to explain that I'd never met her before in my life. I still don't know who she was but she was very kind and helpful.
 
She's my YO, so not a stranger but she was really lovely yesterday when I went for my first ever solo hack. She suddenly found some jobs to do out in the fields so that she could keep her eye on me. I didn't even realise that she was watching me until I got back and she said that I looked a bit tense as I went past the farm machinery but I had visibly relaxed as we came past the pond. I thought that it was very sweet of her to look out for me.
 
A group of blokes working for the Environment Agency.

They had built a little fire on the track down the side of the river and my Mr Wimpalot wouldn't go past. Ah well... natural reaction to fire and all that... Anyway, they calmly waited for him to finish his strop and then found an alternative route past the fire for me and led him through.
 
mine have to a group of "strangers" !!-all walkers who came across my friend who had been bucked off on a pleasure ride on the downs last autumn, we were miles from anyone, no mobile signal and with her injured I was all alone..they came round the corner and helped holding the horses and my mates hand without a fuss depsite none of them being remotely horsey and my lad being nearly 17hh! whilst I went for help..when it was all sorted they just carried on their walk..the great british public come good when you need them..

A girl at our riding club, who I had maybe talked to twice, in passing, asked if I wanted to go on a riding weekend. She goes every year and had no-one to go with and asked me if I wanted to go with her this year. So whoo I am going away for four days at spring bank

I was 10p short in Tesco for emergency dog food and the nice assistant on the tills bailed me out..... bless her the dogs were very very greatful
 
My pony was rearing in the middle of a country lane because she wouldnt go past a house with a big guard dog that was standing up over the wall barking at her... a 4x4 came up behind, and i thought oh no i cant get out of the way please dont get impatient, the man got out and he was so kind, he led me past and helped me calm the pony, when i let him past to drive on i saw a sticker in the back of his wagon saying "keep hunting" so he was obviously a country person and understood animals. it just made such a refreshing change from being told to get out the way or sped past etc.
