It is not uncommon for me to encounter people riding or walking horses on
the dirt roads that I ride on a lot.
I just know that some horses can freak out when near a bike.
What I always do is slow down as fast as I can and try to "read" the
horse's body language to see if it's skittish.
Then I get into first gear and slowly and as quietly as I can get way over
to the opposite side of the road and pass the horse.
If I'm coming up behind the horse, I make every effort to make sure the
rider sees me coming. Try not to blow your horn.
Once, I actually stopped and turned off the bike until the young rider went
by on a very nervous horse.
So far, I haven't scared any horses.
The riders/walkers always seem appreciative.
I hope this little courtesy helps folks understand that not all bikers are
dolts.
Thanks.

Amigos
today at work I scanned a couple of pictures and sent them home to my
computer, I would like to learn how to post them on a single posting
to the listgroup, using my computer. I'm not sure how; can anyone
give me any simple pointers?
TIA
