Riding a quad on back roads is definitely a glorious way to spend a weekend afternoon, but wilderness comes with so much more than relaxing scenery to enjoy. And if the bumpy road is one of the things you're really after, wild animals may not be the best thing to run into.
This ride could have ended in a very nasty way for this quad rider, but it looks like the loud vehicle saved the day, possibly one of the few times when I must admit that loud pipes save lives.
The noise was enough to scare the horse back into the bushes he emerged from, and it stopped inches from the place the quad rode in fractions of seconds later.
I've seen the damage cows versus bikes do, and I'd say a horse is worse. Good to see the animal, the rider and his Suzuki quad safe and sound.
