On a bike we do have the added advantage of being able to hear oncoming cars and also being a bit ahead to start with. If I can hear a car coming the other way then I will make a gesture to the car behind not to overtake which they sometimes heed.
There are also wild horses which tend to congregate at the most unexpected of places. Only a few weeks back someone raced round a corner and skidded/missed a group of horses by a metre by driving off the road on the wrong side. Luckily no one was coming the other way!
So should horses wear helmets. Better get myself over to some equestrian forum and kick off the discussion.
