Animal rights activists have - of course - been quick to jump on the bandwagon of last week’s bolting Household Cavalry horses.

Of course, the most militant have claimed it infringes horses’ rights to be ridden and that putting a saddle and bridle on any equine is nothing short of abuse. The person who can make a half-a-ton of horse do something it doesn’t want to do, be that jumping a fence or pulling a carriage, does not exist. One of the most fundamental rules of horsemanship is that the horse has to enjoy its work, or it won’t lift so much as a hoof in co-operation.

Anybody caught on camera revving their engines behind those poor horses, or who crossed through traffic lights in front of them, should be rounded up and put in the Tower of London. The British Horse Society has long campaigned to improve driver awareness and in 2022 succeeded in getting an alteration in the new Highway Code which has been updated from the vague “pass horses wide and slow” to overtaking at no more than 10mph and at a distance of no less than two metres.
