I have the same Pet Peeve. Because of this we typically will not do big public rides anymore.
When people do this they have no clue the experience of the horse and/or rider that they are coming up on. We were at a ride that was for a GREAT cause, but had people doing this all the time and our horses would end up spinning around, backing into ditches and just totally freaking out. VERY RUDE and can be VERY dangerous.
This was also the 1st, and only, time I saw a big boom box strapped on a horse that was blaring music. When I ride I want to hear nature, not someone else's blasting music. I was also amazed how how many drunks were riding!
