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",


Odd coincidence, I shout "cyclist, arsehole" (that is the usual
connotation after the first word.) One can of course precede that
with 'bloody' to ensure that everyone will understand.


Should some arsehole on a bicycle ring a silly bell at me, the arsehole gets
a face full of screenwash.


Your horse has a windscreen??

But they get that every time I overtake one of these ******s.
