In the New Forest (down in the south west of the UK) there are ponies, horses, sheep and more wandering freely. They are used to cars (I guess they think that they are just other animals that use the road,) and so they will not move.
Several times we have had to stop, jump out of the car and physically push ponies off the road. Fun times.
It has been Common Land, with citizens rights of usage enshrined in law, since 1698. It is sadly one of the only remaining pieces of such land we have left.
