'Animal'

I think I may have mentioned the occasional animal walking in front of my car or bus. I've had sheep in front of the bus, cows in front of my car, deer crossing the road and of course plenty of birds. A few weeks ago however...

As I was driving towards the start of my line, I all of a sudden saw a horse! in the middle of the road. I slowed down immediately (from about 30km/hour), because I know how horses can be spooked by a speck of dust and having my bus ruined on a near-deserted road was not my idea of having a nice day at work. Fortunately the horse was a clever horse and although it wasn't as fast as sheep, it wasn't as stupid as cows either. It trotted off to the nearest field and when I came back only three minutes later, it was still there. Good horsey!

This is my 63rd entry for Photo Theme for Thursday. Why not join?

  1. Leuke invulling van het item. Wilde zwijnen of herten komen veel onverwachter voor je auto. Dus niet te hard 's avonds rijden is mijn advies als je zo'n waarschuwingsbord met zo'n hert ziet in bosrijke gebieden. Salu2 Albert

  2. Het is weer eens wat anders om een paard voor de wagen te krijgen. :-)

  3. Gaaf toch om zomaar iets voor de auto te krijgen op veilige afstand, zowel voor het dier als voor jou?!

  6. Oh the joy of living in the country. That is why I don't like the city. You don't see these things.
