The rider is the most vulnerable person , in that they could get thrown with possibly fatal or life changing injuries . We at least , in cars or on engines , are pretty safe . I had my car kicked by a horse many years ago , and the lady rider was very nice about it , saying that the 20 year old horse was reckoned to be bomb proof . With an engine if there is any doubt I park up and offer to lead the horse past , especially with children .

I shall tell the story again , of Michael Salmon , a vet who had ploughed with horses as a boy . He owned five engines . When on an engine he got an unladylike mouthful from the rider . He raised his cap , and said sweetly " Madam , we are both of us mounted upon anachronisms , but I am in control of mine "
