Hang him! Death to rover drivers, lock him up!, what a ***k!, he is EVIL etc etc... My god..

Such low IQ people on facebook, what a bunch of cretins.

Mind you, this is the same country where you have council estate dwellers going after Paediatricians because they thought they were Paedophiles...sigh.

Always two sides to everything, for all the bottom feeding facebook retards know, the horse people might have been purposely obstructing the driver to "teach him a lesson" to use common persons parlance.

Another dig at council estate residents, can you really be so blinkered that you believe all folk who live in council dwellings are the scum of the earth?

If I can see this, I will stop the car and switch off, until the rider has got control, or moved well out of danger.

Agree totally - a horse rider speeding up to a trot so as to “pull into” a safe space to let cars and other vehicles pass is a regular occurrence round here. As is car drivers treating other road users - including horse riders with respect.

Both parties then smile and wave at each other and all is at peace in our small bit of the world.

Idiots are, thankfully, rare.

There are lots of horses out and about where I live.
I don't mind them at all, even though I can get stuck behind them for ages.

You lucky chap - most round here look like they are carrying a Shetland pony around in their jodphurs.....
