When driving, you should always measure your following distance in seconds. A general rule of thumb is to maintain a following distance of at least 3-4 seconds between your vehicle and the one in front of you. This distance allows you enough time to react and brake safely in case of an emergency.
For things such as trail riding, the recommended distance is about two horses lengths. My personal rule of thumb is that you should be able to see the back hooves of the horse in front of you.
According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles, the minimum following distance on highways is three car lengths. Anything closer is considered tailgatinging and is both unsafe and against the law. This distance is independent of time of day.
