Today, I saw the girl that I've had a crush on forever riding her horse on the side of the road. She waved, and without thinking, I honked my horn in response. Her horse bucked her off. FML

Help her up, ask if she's ok, get the horseback ( if it ran away), laugh about the incident, invite her to coffee ( though I prefer hot chocolate), and you take it from there op

#40: "I read a post online and didn't think through its typo, a simple missing space that was made clear by the parenthetical comment immediately after it. So I posted a declasse ad hominem attack in response. People downvoted me. FML."

36- I live in a farm community and people ride their horses along the side of the road all the time. We have a tradition of riding your horse to school on the last day. We also have high school rodeo teams and junior rodeo for younger kids, get together with neighbors to gather and brand cattle, and just ride for fun or to exercise our horses (like walking the dog). OP- That was thoughtless of you, but she should've known better. Never ride a horse that's easily spooked close to a road. Anything can happen and you want to know your mount will stay calm. I once had a jerk through a beer bottle at me while riding.

Give a girl a box of chocolates and she'll love you for a night, give a girl a concussion and she'll love you forever kind of logic, huh?

I'm pretty sure she thinks you're a moron and would never go out with you, now. I wouldn't. I don't say that to be mean, just that she could've been majorly hurt. That was beyond dumb.

Damn, I would be pissed at you. Not for making me fall off the horse, but for scaring my horse. I hope she was on dirt and not cement.

You should NEVER honk you car around horses. If just seeing a girl you like makes you forget basic driving laws then maybe you shouldn't be on the road. F her life and F her horse's life.

True, one shouldn't honk around horses, though I doubt that's a law in most places. But to be fair, one should never ride a horse along a road if that horse will be so badly spooked by honking or other car sounds.

OP, you shouldn't have honked. But she also should have made sure her horse had been trained to deal with all sorts of things that also come walking near the road. Including fast-moving cars, car horns, etc.

True, she should have trained her horse more but that doesn't excuse OPs stupid behaviour. And 'reject214'....I think your name says it all. If you ever get hurt because of a dangerous driver, whilst I hope you're not seriously hurt, I do hope someone tells you 'oh shut up'!

Also, sorry if that's not the law/generally excepted practice where you live. I don't want to be ignorant of other country's laws, it's just that British guidelines which I'm familiar with are that motorists should never honk their horns or rev their engines, should slow down and give them plenty of room when overtaking and that they should be prepared for both riders and horses that are inexperienced or nervous NOT just those that are experienced.

That's exactly what I thought. It's just common sense not to honk a car horn around horses...

There will, however, always be people who do; whether because they're just being assholes or as a signal to get someone's attention. That's why I would prefer to have a horse that's bombproof because of training and so won't react badly, instead of hoping people won't do something to spook the horse.

If your horse is too dumb and/or poorly trained to understand that sound won't kill it, and that murdering its rider wouldn't prevent that even if so, you really shouldn't be taking it to a place where people might have legitimate reasons to be making loud noises. Car horns are a warning system. If you're going to be around cars, people might have cause to employ that warning system.
