This needs to be shared every day by every rider until everyone has seen it and practices it!!

While crossing the highway 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 horse.

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 he/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.

Thanks Jane for sharing!!!
