You have hit on one on my pet hates too!!!! Some drivers just act like they arent even there!!!!

One driver pushed past me and Lady, on the same side of the road, because there was traffic coming the other way - he couldnt be bothered to wait - aarrgh!!

Although, I have noticed that when I am driving my little ford transit horsebox, that drivers are just as manic round that - they will do absolutely anything to overtake you!!! They are so dangerous it scares me sometimes!!!!

Is there a law to protect horse and riders if not there should be.

I agree that some drivers are just plain stupid. My friend hits the roof of cars with her whip and then grabs her knee to make it look as though any cars that have driven to close to her have actually brushed her leg and hurt her. It does make them think twice the next time they see a horse on the road.
