Almost every day. Past construction, semi's, cars, you name it. Now, I love
it. No greater way to develop a horse that is as close to bombproof as one
can get.  My girls will walk past 18 wheelers without blinking an eye.

Most people are polite, but you get an occasional jerk that tries to have
"fun" with the horsies by honking or some other stupid act. My horses are
used to that too.
