The New Forest has pony’s everywhere as well as horses with riders. Always treat them with respect and curtesy and invariably get a cheery wave of thanks in return.
I have far more issues with arrogant rude and aggressive bike riders who think they can race anywhere they like and everyone else should get out of their way.
As a horse rider/owner myself (some years ago) I found it rare that car drivers acted as this total idiot has done as set out in the OP.
But the abuse myself and my family received from cyclists who wanted to get past us at speed regardless of their or our safety was a foul and regular occurrence.
