I've had some encounters with horses but the biggest problem is riders who think they're tough cowboys. One time I was going through some heavy deadfall when I met some people on horses. I got off the trail as far as I could but it was only about 5 yds. One horse got a bit raunchy and the guy decided to ride it out. His horse was dancing through deadfall and there was a really good chance of a broken leg. Damn fool should have just got off and walked it by. That wasn't any place to play cowboy.
Another time I encountered a couple on horses with their toddler on a big mule he was leading. I got off the trail and asked if his horses knew llamas. He said they'd find out and kept going, with his baby girl on that mule. Luckily it didn't do anything because if the idiot had got that girl hurt, I'm not sure what I'd have done.
