Hope,
A couple of things come to mind.  How about an umbrella?  I
thought my horse would be afraid, but after I opened it
slowly and he looked at it I could pop it open and put it
over my head and he didn't care at all.  Since I ride rain
or shine I figure better safe than sorry.
Today out on a ride I had to pass a man using a weed
whacker.  Fortunately  a) I was riding with someone else,
and  b) after we were close enough to distinguish that it
was a man with a tool neither of the horses were afraid.
Oh, and don't forget the horse eating bicycles.  I've got to
work on that one some more!
