I slow down to <10mph & try to leave a wide gap when overtaking horses & their riders, just as the highway code says, in case they get startled and suddenly start running across the road or crashing at my bonnet with their hooves.
Sometimes however I've been behind people that have driven wrecklessly elsewhere but suddenly become complete saints when it comes to overtaking a horse ... in fact they overtake at a rediculous snail's pace bearly faster than the horse.
If you own a horse, can you tell me what really startles a horse:
Squeely brakes?
Revving engine?
Fast but quiet car?
Close car?
How about if the car approaches from in front -does that scare them or is it only from behind?
Have you ever been on a startled horse?

According to Wikipedia, the bob-tailed nag (Flora Temple) was a Standardbred trotter - harness racing. Harness racing tracks are 1 mile. The song lyrics mention a 10 mile heat, requiring 2 circuits of the track. The Grand National steeplchase is about 4.5 miles, but requires 2 circuits of a course. RPO Library (U. Toronto) says that the 5 miles was a track from Camptown to Merryall (Pennsylvania), but that doesn't square with "round de racetrack, den repeat (line 26). " I haven't found evidence of any tracks in the mid-1850s and forward longer than about 2 miles. So, just what was this race?

haha no why don't people moan about horses being whipped? They say it does'nt hurt the horse, but how would a human know(as we have different skin). And if it does'nt hurt why does the horse speed up after being hit? Cause it does hurt that is why!

Kona Gold? Left Bank? Swept Overboard? Squirtle Squirt? Orientate? Speightstown?

I think when he was on his A+ game, Swept Overboard was untouchable. Although Ghostzapper wouldve given him trouble beyond 7F.
