I saw a new thing yesterday.
In the Hereforsdshire lanes, two girls were out on horses. I was pootling in a family car, having dropped a boy off at an activity.
Two girls on horses were almost stationary and two-abreast ahead of me. I slowed, then almost stopped and rolled along a distance behind them, thinking they'd hear the diesel burbling away.
There was room to pass a single rider, but not two. Nothing.
Eventually, one saw me and they got in line. The one who hadn't see me was..... TEXTING.
I dropped a window and said that although I loved to see horses out on the roads there are those who don't and that texting while riding might annoy drivers who are anti-horse. I got a smile and a thank you, which was nice.
I took my younger boy to a local stable later that day and saw... the same two girls coming back from their hack. Ooops! I was in a different car, but I think I was spotted.
But really... Texting while riding a horse in dangerous country lanes!
Is this a first?
