Driving down the very narrow lane to the nearby village of Woolsery I came face to face with these two huge horses. The front rider signalled for me to stay still as they would try to squeeze by. Finlay and George by this time were now barking their heads off and as the first horse came to the side of the car he went down into a ditch. The horse started to panic and I could see that he might kick my car!! Thankfully the rider brought him under control and he got past safely. The second rider went past with no trouble. Phew!! I think I will be taking a different route to Woolsery from now on!! Mind you all the lanes are narrow and I am perfecting my reversing skills back to a passing place . Why do I seem to do all the reversing?
Enjoyed your narrative! Knowing how to back up for a good distance was part of my driver’s ed class. When you need to do it, you better know how to do it!
Such narrow lanes down there…you did right Pam….it’s best just to stop & let horses, sheep or cows just slowly find their own way through…hope you put your mirrors in too! It’s always me that reverses…it’s because we are far too obliging…I start reversing before the other car can even think about it…silly fool me! You do be me a good backer! 🤣🤣
