@Donnie Jenkins Horses were on the 'road' way before cars. Cars a guests on the road and as such follow certain rules. Don't like it? Don't drive. Sorted! Stay safe. PS when driving past horses as you are meant to, there is very little danger. The car driver is the danger in that clip, not the horse lol
@Donnie Jenkins yep, they don't damage the road surface or environment like cars do. Follow the rules of the road and there are no issues. Be a dick, and there will be.
@Donnie Jenkins Horses are put through years' worth of training before they're allowed to be ridden out to a road, while a human driver needs to pass a 5 minute test to be able to drive a fiberglass and metal vehicle that can reach over 100mph. I think I trust a horse and its rider before I trust a dumbass in a car.
Why are so many people blaming the horse and handlers? The horse is clearly still in training, as there is someone on the ground. They are fully hi-vised up. A lot of riders don't like being on the road (I wonder why.), But do need to as they cannot reach a bridleway or hacking route any other way. It seems like people forget horses are trained by exposure, and are prey animals with a flight response. The driver should not of floored it and sped by. It is the law to pass wide and SLOW around horses to avoid accidents. The highway code exists not just for the horse's safety, but your own too. I have seen a horse get spooked at a speeding car and flip on top of it. Both rider and driver were sent to hospital, and the horse had to be put down due to the injuries he gained. The horse was 4 years old and in training on a usually quiet road which the driver would've certainly seen us, as it's basically a straight line. I'm glad I was there that day. I was walking a little shetland in front of them. I turned around and the horse, Jep, was too far for me to help. By the time I moved, Jep was already on the goddamn car, his rider completely unconscious and the driver cussing like a sailor. I'm glad that 12 year old me also had an adult with me. I didn't really know what was happening until about 3 hours later when I had to tell a cop what happened. TL:DNR; Drive wide and SLOW around horses. It can cost not just their life, but your own. It's not their fault by being scared of your action.
Imagine being a horse about 115 years ago when Henry Ford started selling his Model T Fords. Before then the horses owned the road. My Grandpa told me horses were very much afraid of those new creatures they had to start sharing the road with.
That's why you should never speed around horses this could get away from the person that's leading them ditch the rider and get hurt badly and plus that driver also scared the horse poor Horse
This poor horse and rider! They clearly were doing the correct thing and some people just genuinely have no decent respect for others, Its clear the driver was doing this intentionally to spook the horse. Some people really should learn basic and decent respect before being let loose Into this world...
So rider, horse, and escort are all decked out in high visibility safety gear... Idiot driver still nearly hits them. This is why I always carry a very obvious firearm when riding. Amazing how polite drivers can be!
This happened to me on my mare- she acted the same way. Of course I was mad as hell at the driver, but it’s my responsibility to train my horse correctly.
Wow- how do you train your horse with a child onboard to deal with skidding cars? Have you recorded any training tutorials? I’d really like to know how to traffic proof a horse for that scenario without going on a road especially exposing the horse to all types of traffic from bikes to combines
How do we all learn to drive? In a car park? We all eventually have to get our pre trained horses on the roads for real and most will cope fantastically well. They lose confidence when faced with drivers like this and you can’t explain to them that it’s just a few entitled idiots,.
Looks like the car driver suddenly spotted the horse too late due to speeding, hence braking hard and skidding along the road edge. Not worth it riding out on roads anymore, if you value you and your horses life.
You must have alot of brains to ride a horse and endanger your own life on a road with a 60mph speed limit, regardless of the driver been guilty here. Imagine crossing the road without checking for oncoming cars.
Ditto. I second this statement. Theyre idiotic need to be on horseback on a busy road caused massive damage to that vehicle. With another vehicle blocking their view of the horses, how were they to know
@@lucasbaddel18which is against the law. Detainment. Unlawful detainment. The driver didn’t break any laws, in fact my guess is they couldn’t see past the vehicle blocking the view of the rider. The damage to their car because of these selfish twats needing to use a highly trafficked road for horseback is astounding.
This horse should have been more road worthy. I know, that’s hard. It’s like don’t work unless you have experience. I have been riding horses for 6 decades and some simply never get used to traffic. Bicycles are actually worse than cars!! Horse and bike paths are often combined. Joggers like the softer way with horse paths. But first and foremost, have complete and total control over the horse, make him bomb proof somehow. People and bike riders are stupid and don’t care about the horse or it’s rider.
Terrible driving, changes to the Highway Code and the proliferation of cameras mean more prosecutions of these idiots, eventually they will get the message or lose their license.
"Lose their lie-sense"?? Good. Then perhaps instead everyone can use their own COMMON sense instead when using their own private property. What do *_you_* think?
Yeah seems like they couldn’t SEE the rider. Cant expect everyone to be mind readers. Curious why the heck you thought you could follow them as it wasn’t against any laws, in fact I’d sue yall for impeding traffic and creating a dangerous situation where the vehicle itself was damaged. Insane the lot of tall. If your horse can’t handle the road and needs an extra handler, STAY OFF THE ROAD. I say that as an owner of two horses myself. I NEVER assume there are competent drivers in the road nor expect to place my life in their hands. The idiocy is astounding from yall.
Here’s a message to the horse riders out there, get off the road so people can drive in peace…. Stop pissing off car drivers that want to get passed because you don’t own the road.
@@sassy180 DVLA take this horse rider off the road that piss off car users that need to get to a job or place. Also this person leaves poop on the roads.

Besides, we all pay taxes and the amount of taxes you pay is decided on how much damage you vehicle causes to the road.
