When you've owned horses,it puts a different slant on things.
RIP Dan
Song was awesome, you youngsters don't know what music is these days etc etc.
No place for horses on the road now, plenty of bridle tracks and fields for them to use. Times have changed, move with the times.
Never owned a horse but ridden a couple and never again, no way you are in full control of them as they have minds. Dangerous to mix motor vehicles and horses.
"But horses have were around before cars"
So were penny farthings and no fcuker uses them anymore.

Bus w**ker
The pony, not a horse, shouldn't be on the road from that video. It's obviously not road safe and the rider is putting herself, the animal and other road users in danger by hacking it out, stick to bridle paths FFS.
You did the right thing by stopping and the 200+ year old law gives them more rights to be on the road than you. But f**k me WHAT WAS THAT WALING MUSIC?! Eurgh.

One of the things I don't miss about where I used to live. With a stables pretty much on the door-step, there were more horses and riders about than there were cars. The vast majority of them were fine - in control of the glue-stick and letting on when you've given them room, etc.
The flipside of that was the random socialite family, doing their bit to retain their peer status. Up comes high-end 4x4. Out gets Penelope/Trixi/Fifi at a silly young age and chucked onto a self-aware/self-thinking equestrian muscle mountain that goes where IT wants to go. Que the wailing brat without a clue as to what to do and a horse that is simply out of control. Such events were dangerous - very dangerous at times.
And relax with the Kate Hate. She might be as mad as a box of frogs, but she is a musical genius. Young uns......

Really?
Fantastic if not BS in my opinion, I think the establishment should have left well alone.

Not every time. Not for normal mundane commuting.
It tends to be when I've blagged a couple of hours from the wife so just head off across the downs for a blast. On this video it was because I'd met with a load of fellow CSers for the PH meet, before heading cross country to see my old man's new gaff.

Mark im assuming you can use any camera? Ive got a panasonic hd thingy, not sure what model it is though

I think so. All the camcorders and still cameras I've owned over the eight years I've had the mount have fitted with no problems.
It's got the industry standard (1/4 inch I think) screw post mount.
Well the fox and gate was BS...there are 3 horses and a pony in our stables (2 horses I look after for someone else). Just lol at the horse haters out there, where does the term horse power come from???? It wouldn't be that 1hp is equivalent to the amount of power\work 1 horse can do in a day would it...nah that would be just too weird.

I personally think they are too unpredictable for the roads. If someone in a car had as little control of their car as that person did of their horse, they'd be banned and fined.
As for cars giving way to horses, when does that ever need to happen? If anything they spend most of their time giving way to cars as they are usually holding cars up as they're too slow?
Stick em in a horse box and take them to a field, Done!

So everyone on here who barrel rolls into a field or slips on washing up liquid has been banned? I don't think so, and I know what I'd rather meet coming the other way on a country lane.

Stupid horse. Twitchy bum time as you drove past!

Love your taste in music, can't beat a good bit of Kate Bush.

Best I could do.

I think you got the wrong end of the stick mate.
I was trying to illustrate that ultimately the horse will do what it wants to do, and clearly (in this case anyway) not what the rider wants to.
Rusty Cup
I totally agree!!
At first glance the horse appeared to be spooked by the recent steep climb in gold prices!! leading to the kind of staunch incommunicativity you would normally expect from something considerably less equine. Its difficult to draw any meaningful conclusion from this angle.
