Me too, and then I thought "extreme dogging" because my sense of humour is dark and odd.
There was a guy walking down the road, following a horse rider. He was shoveling up the horse poo and putting it in a plastic bag.
As he passed by a school a young boy shouted through the railings "what are you doing?"
The man said "I'm picking up this horse poo"
The boy then said "why you doing that?"
The man said " I'm going to put it on my rhubarb"
To that the boy exclaimed "Oh, you want to come in here, we have custard on ours"

I get somewhat angry about the subject of horses on roads.
I ride a cycle, a motorcycle and drive a car and I'm mightily p*****d off when I come across the arrogant horse riders I frequent around the roads of Lincolnshire.
Invariably the horses are scared of vehicles but, oh no, the pratts who decide its ''their right'' to ride a terrified animal on a road deserve all of the abuse they get. Horses belong in fields and stables. They are pets just like dogs, cats etc etc. I wouldn't take my dog on a busy road even though its my ''right''.
Sorry, but I treat all horse riders with contempt and, unless there's a risk to my car/bike or myself, will drive past at a speed I choose - it is my ''right'' after all.
Bloody nuisance all of them!!!!

Well that's a bit of a crap attitude.
And you'd be fine with motorists taking the exact same attitude with you when you're on your bike? Or are you just trolling?

Trolling? No!
My opinion based on 30 years of cycling/riding and driving.
Seems that every 30 yards or so I'm coming across another horse - thats after I've had to avoid the mess left by said horse.

Must admit that it has taken me a long time to throw off my attitude to a certain section of the horsey community.... when I was a lad I was out walking in the hills with my parents when I suddenly found myself at a gate and surrounded by a pack of hounds and some men in red jackets on very big horses. The man in charge of this show pointed his whip at me and shouted imperiously: "Boy! Open that gate!"
Even at the age of twelve I thought him ill-mannered but I recognised that he represented a very different lifestyle and part of society to my own so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Don't think I would be so mild-mannered nowadays though.

I take it there has been a good while since you brought yourself up to date with the Highway code.
Not wanting you to be regarded as another ignorant and selfish road user, I've done you the honour of tracking it down :-

Bugger! Wish I'd known that when I took my driving test in 1980
Good job I've got you to remind me, eh?
I stand by what I said - horse riders are aggogant and selfless.
Ah, see I think I've found your problem. You're either riding your bike in a stable, or have found a method of returning to, and cycling in, the 1600's.
