I recently watched a lady struggle to control a very skittish horse on a road, causing a minor traffic hold up.

It got me thinking. (Firstly, nice jodphurs)!

Secondly, and more importantly, if I were to drive a wheeled vehicle with faulty steering or brakes on the road, or any other fault which gave it "a mind of its own", especially with no MOT, tax or insurance, I would soon be in deep trouble with the authorities.

How come some horse riders think it's quite acceptable to take an unroadworthy or untrustworthy horse on the public highway?

Back on thread, I would hate to think of an accident being caused by a helicopter - be very, very careful about mixing the two in close proximity.
