Just for the record, I am super courteous to horse riders, dog walkers and other vehicles....
We have a single track private road into the woodland...
It's more usual than not, to be head to head with one of the above, and if dog walkers move onto the grass, and notwithstanding that, I still slow right down and give a thank you wave.
I always slow down for horse riders, and most will go onto the grass, and cheery waves are exchanged as a courtesy.
Same thing with cars, if I can pull over I will as in no hurry, but not today!
Two women riding two abreast at a gnats pace, and quite a way off.... I stopped at the only place where they could pass, but no attempt to canter (or is it trot) and both mouths yacking for England!
Far from not acknowledging, they didn't even look...just carried on yacking for England!
