I had a plod point a radar gun at me whilst on horseback but when I
asked what speed I was doing he said I wouldn't register on radar and
nor would the horse unless we carried something reflective to a radar
signal. Shame really as my horses (Icelandics) can cover ground at a
high rate of knots and the speed would have been interesting

bursts. Not sure what a flat racer will do..

There are signs all around here saying 'Race Horses for 5 miles' but
none have ever come up to challenge me.
