While crossing the highway today and having a car blow right past me it made me think maybe people just don't know what the proper etiquette is for passing a ho...rse. Here is my PSA..... you are passing an animal! While I like to believe I am in full control of this animal. At the end of the day she is 1000lbs and fully capable of spooking or jumping at anytime. You should treat passing a horse just as you would passing a deer. Treat it like you don't know what direction they are going, because you don't. If a deer can total out a car imagine what a horse would do. You could likely kill me, my horse, and yourself. So as kindly as I can possibly say it slow down! If you have a teen driver please inform them.
