Okay, so we have talked about dogs and they don't bother me too much, except for some farm dogs. Cows I can normally cope with but my big fear is horses.
Meeting a horse whilst out running means a big detour, or turning back but there is no way that I am going to happily pass any animal that big or with the temperament some horses seem to have. It doesn't matter whether they are in a field or being ridden, I am scared. Mind you, sometimes the riders are no better and seem to think that their animal should have priority over rights of way.
Is anyone else scared like me? Has anyone been unfortunate to have an incident with a horse(or rider)? What is the safest way to get past a horse and what should you do if a horse comes towards you in a field - leave by the nearest wall like me or just run on?
