Apparently, horses can be spooked by the sound of freewheels,
Who the hell thinks that a public road is an appropriate place for an animal which gets spooked by a quiet clicking sound - and possibly injures it's rider and other road users?

Fuuuuck me
You do realise pedestrians and horses came before bikes, motorbikes and cars?
Have you not seen pedestrians and cyclists who get spooked by inconsiderate cyclists, motorcyclists and drivers?
Highway Code suggests to give the same clearance or peds, cyclists, horses. IE don’t be a dick.

You should see the brakes on those bastards! Nowt but strands of leather, and pulling on them is no guarantee anything is going to happen, modulation is ropey as fuck, and its totally possible to go over the, err what do you say instead of bars, over the ears? Is this where the phrase arse over tit comes from?
And lets not even get started on the emissions.....Penelope, something just fell out the back of your horse, you not cleaning that up then?

They have a long-standing right to use the public highway and it's always important to emphasise that it has many different purposes and isn't just a modern speedway for motorised vehicles. I mean, I'm vegan, I don't approve of horse-riding for other reasons (arguments for and against here), but I certainly wouldn't ask a question which with a few changes is the one drivers ask about cyclists on a daily basis.
(Good trolling of James, though.)

I've never had any issues. I just say 'cyclist(s) coming through' and pass them with much room to spare.
Apparently, horses can be spooked by the sound of freewheels, so keep pedalling if you're on gears (spits).
