On Horses versus Motorcycles - Video - autoevolution
If you are into motorcycle vlogging, then the name Baron vom Grumble should not sound strange to your ears. Even though its content might anger some viewers, there's nothing truly offensive in it. We'd rather say that the Baron was in the moderate camp on this one, especially if we consider how dangerous skittish horses can be for riders. Von Grumble mentions that one of his friends owns both horses and motorcycles that are pretty loud, but the animals got used to the machines and will not become startled when one is started in their vicinity. And if you've ridden long enough in the countryside, you've maybe ticked the close encounters with horses box on your "been there done that" list. Horses, like most other animals, are impredictable in such scenarios. If a horse is not well accustomed to the sound of traffic and the movement of cars, you can expect it to react in impredictable ways. I almost got a kick from a startled horse even though I was riding in the opposite lane. Looking ahead down the road, I observed that the animal was frightened, so I slowed down and carefully tried to swerve around him. The animal then swiftly backed a couple of meters and kicked the air. Source: www.autoevolution.com
