Yes, but enough about the car driver, what about the horse?

Off topic a wee bit but horsey non the less.
How come motor drivers will show horse and rider far more courtesy than a cyclist in my experience?
I think I meet the same criteria;
John says I can be a right animal
I would possible make just a big a dent if struck at speed.
I'm a herbivore
I don't defecate on roads
Cynically
You can kill or injure a cyclist with minimal damage to the paintwork
Whereas impacting with a horse causes damage

That's not cynical it's a fact. A horse and rider are as vulnerable, if not more so than a cyclist, but there is very little risk to the motorist from a cyclist.
Edited to add, I have always felt vulnerable to traffic as a horse rider even though I have take great pains to bombproof my horses, there are so many idiots on the roads, but as a cyclist I feel even more vulnerable, in fact I sometimes wonder if I'm invisible. (Despite wearing Hi Vis etc)

Dunno where you get the impression that horses don't defecate on roads though, the only ones I encounter, police horses, do it plenty!
