On a bicycle, the voice can be useful because the approach behind
pedestrians or horse riders is otherwise silent. When there is
insufficient clearance to get past without having their awareness I
always slow to match their speed before announcing my presence.
Horses panic at anything, silent or not.

I have only had a horse panic when it was a face on approach. When
approaching from behind the rider needs to know.
A horse noticed my 3.5 litre V8 Range Rover approaching from behind.
The rider was very annoyed when I overtook in 1st gear.

I expect you took great pleasure from it.

It was an automatic. It engaged 1st of its own accord. Yeah ok, I
pressed the pedal quite hard, but only to get past the horse before
something came the other way, so I could give it a wide berth. I forgot
how loud the engine could be.
