| Mr Dearing should not have been on the road. Unroadworthy car, driving on a provisional license and without insurance. He also obviously didnt look properly over his right shoulder before making the manouver and the how on earth he failed to realise he had been involved in a collision is beyond me! |

Stung by a wasp, bee, bitten by a horse fly, startled by something going on behind, feeling threatened by another horse walking past its rear end. The horse was tied up, no option for flight, defense! The girl sh... |

| Firstly Oscar...my apologies, the way you explained it earlier in the post made it sound like she was out riding and in your opinion should have dismounted some way up the road and led the horse across... "Instead of leading a horse across the road at a spot where visibility is better, a woman rider... |

And curiously you still dont say why the horses you speak of acted the way they did, you have just assumed it... |

| The answer is simple. Rider must have had training before she (usually) can take a horse on the road. She must also have public liability insurance and not having insurance means points on the old driving license just like driving uninsured would. No one under the age of 16 can take a horse on the ... |

| That is very unfortunate Oscar, but these riding schools are teaching people to ride and part of that is to ride on the roads. If these novice riders weren't taught to ride, then that would be cruel on the horses. We accept the dangers of the road, we accept other road users, we just wish other road... |

| Thank you PeterE. We do not exercise horses on roads through choice! It is hazardous, nerve wracking and generally an unpleasant experience most of the time. It is unfortunately unavoidable. Myself and a few others in my area are part of a group called TROT (set up by my mother). We are campaigning ... |

| Um yes ok oscar whatever :roll: . What about exercise? As I have said, riders do not like being on the road either, but they have to very often go on the roads to get to bridlepaths. Horses also need to be stimulated. Being stuck in a field getting fat and subsequently developing ailments such as la... |

| I agree wholeheartedly with profiecency tests for the rider, education like we both agree, but that isn't going to solve the problem that Adam.L. seems to on about. Test a rider all you like, if the horse is gonna bolt, there is little the rider can do, profiency tested or not. A rider is no match f... |

| Besides, this has all gone a little off topic, with regards to your first post, a test for riders is available, a proficiency test. It is not practical to test horses, they are unpredictable and what might not frighten it in a controlled atmosphere, may frighten it in a real life situation or under ... |
