sounds as tho you done the right thing - waiting for the horses and riders to get in to a layby and went past as quietly as poss- according to highway code horses have right of way over ANY motor vehicle--- im always very cautious when approaching horses as they are (in my experience) very unpredictable--- what annoys me are a couple of things when the riders never acknowledge your consideration for them in slowing down and giving them right of way- just a wave of appreciation is enough! and seeing kids on massive horses that, if they had too couldnt control the animal if they had too
