How to be a horse-friendly biker

Miss Mountain Manners is pleased to bring you the correct way for a cyclist to approach an equestrian, whether on the road or on the trail in the Parks. Thanks to Mr. Goodman (on his recumbent bicycle) for showing us how to interact with both horse and rider.

“Did all the usual things (slowed right down and spoke to let the horses know we were human…) Still spooked quite badly. We stopped and stood up… Luckily there was nothing coming the other way and the riders did a good job of getting them under control.”
