I know cows have a bad reputation, but friends of mine, whilst walking to connect a few country pubs through fields, have found that horses are a bit worrying. The have experienced, on quite a few occasions, horses running at them and then galloping alongside them, turning round, then galloping past again very close, nearly touching.
All the best,

Hi TE,
I mentioned in an earlier post my run-in with moorland horses at Hawkstor and also that I am quite used to horses. I've never owned one but did used to ride. About 6 months ago now my dowsing friend asked if I would look after her three horses while she and her family went to visit her father who was unwell at the time. Three horses in total, two mares and male ex racehorse. He was a hell of a horse that I had got on very well with when I previously looked after them. Well when I went to attend to them on the first evening I noticed there was a fourth horse in the same field (turned out he had broken through from an adjoining field).
Their feed buckets had been left down the centre of this 10 acre field which meant I had to go down to collect them. What a mistake that was for as I was approaching them this other horse came galloping down the field at full stretch directly at me. I had nowhere to run so rather froze on the spot I have to say. But just as he was about to get me he suddenly veered off...because Cocky (the male horse I got on well with) came right at him and steered him away from me and chased him across the field!!Phew! Guess who had extra feed that evening!
