Thanks. That works.
Personally when coming up behind a horse I slow down and ring the bell
well in advance, and try to give the horse a wide berth. It is safer
also for me to pass outside kicking range. And the horse has plenty of
notice that I am there because of the bell, even if the rider did not
hear it.

I am not sure what the reaction to a bell would be. Voice might be more
recognisable to the horse?

I shout "cyclist behind", to my mind the horse recognises the voice as
human where as a bell... .

Merely "cyclist behind" is meant to imply (to the rider) that I am
there but not demanding to pass (I feel a bell is a bit clamouring
Though I do use one on people on their own).

Usually the result is the rider looking behind them waving me on and a
cheery wave.
Everyone is enjoying the outdoors.
