Thanks. That works.
Personally when coming up behind a horse I slow down and ring the bell
well in advance, and try to give the horse a wide berth. It is safer
also for me to pass outside kicking range. And the horse has plenty of
notice that I am there because of the bell, even if the rider did not
hear it.


I am not sure what the reaction to a bell would be. Voice might be more
recognisable to the horse? Anyway, I usually ask the horsist whether it
is ok to go past.


I use a bell. I only ever ride alone or with Mrs, on an old railway line that's used by quite a lot of horses. The riders are always grateful for the notice. Some of the lycra crowd just don't bother.
