Hi, Sounds like a horrible experience! Don’t know if you’ve ever considered trying some of the Parelli techniques for sorting out such problems – they really do work. If you’ve got five minutes have a look at the Parelli.com website and maybe see if it could be a helpful option. Best of luck. Carolyn

It makes me so sad when car drivers treat us like we are a nuisance. I believe that some of them think we are actually making our horses naughty on purpose just to annoy and inconvenience them. Unfortunately there are fewer and fewer places to ride off road and as riders we have to run the gauntlett of busy raods with inconsiderate drivers all too frequently.
Well sat Freya!
