JessTickle Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I didn't know horses had a blind spot. Just slow down and give a wide berth and I've never had any issues. It's intollerance like that that makes the horse riders give me a friendly nod and a "thank you". Yeah, I don't think it's a blind spot as such, I just make sure the horse has eyeballed me before I go buy. Sometimes a little whistle is all it takes. Been away for a couple of days so didn't have time to get a picture that explains it easily. A horse has three blind spots, immediately in front, to the offside rear and immediately behind and to the nearside rear and immediately behind Genuinely just wanting to show you so that you can position yourself safely, either on a bike or in a car http://horsehints.org/graphics/VisionDiagram.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A woman is complaining that people are not using the roads sensibly, as her 4 year old son got scared and almost fell from his pony !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessTickle Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 ^^^ Have to agree, I would not be taking a child of that age out on a busy road, no matter how quiet the pony If this is something that happened about a month ago, I do know a bit more about it, but won't post because I know that a number plate was taken and they do now know who it was - wouldn't want to bollox up a prosecution Anyone know why my diagram disappeared? Did I do it wrong? ETA - ha fixed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sick Moon Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Still laughing about that unicyclist. I hope it is a true story. I swear it's true. He wasn't hurt, but he was embarrassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
