I had a similar experience while mountain biking on a shared use trail that was a former railroad. I could see the group of riders coming towards me for like half a mile, and knew I would need to stop to let them pass, as that’s the yield order for the trail rules.
The leader of the horse people had the gall to start screaming at me to stop from 1/4 mile away. I had already started slowing down in preparation, but I didn’t come to a stop until they were more like 100 yards away. As they passed, she chewed me out for not stopping earlier, she apparently thought I was supposed to stop half a mile away or something and wait 10 minutes for them to leisurely trot past me.
Fuck horse people. If your horses are that skittish around people and bikes, then they don’t belong in public.
Ugh, horse people…
