From all his posts a guy i would have loved to have met alas not to be R.I.P. Kelbo ,thoughts to the ones he leaves behind

I always thought one wanted to warn a horse and rider of their presence too because I thought there might be a risk a horse might be startled and throw the rider off. However, if this is not so, good. I'll just know to be careful that a horse could give a hind leg kick.

As you say the rider may be thrown,my concern would be to make cyclist aware of the horses reactions,originally the horse was a prey animal whose instincts were of survival, these

are still present in todays domesticated horses all horses have a blind spot directly behind them and if the first they hear is a swish of tyres, without sight to aid their judgement this defence instict may kick in.wishing you many happy safe hours cycling

My mode of transport is horseback,i spend many hours a week riding roads, tracks and byeways meeting many cyclists.I would just ask one thing of cyclists if you are about to overtake a horse/rider, please please announce your intention,many modern cycles dont have bells but a simple Cyclist Passing Please with the voice will suffice, very often the first a horse or rider hears of a cyclist is a swish of tyres which may startle some horses triggering the natural instinct to kick out with a hindleg, be safe be seen and be safe be heard many thanks

Rumour has it that Kean has changed the intro music at Ewood to"I SHALL NOT BE MOVED"

cant help but feel we are a much poorer side without Benni, maybe it was my imagination but i felt that the last 10 mins of the united game we actually looked like we could cause them a problem imo Sam could do a lot worse than build the side round Benni
