Who is an "outrider"?
An outrider is a person who rides a horse or drives a vehicle ahead of or alongside a main group, often to provide security or guide the way. In the past, outriders were used to clear the path for important people or groups, such as a royal parade or a caravan. Today, outriders can be seen in special events, where they help maintain order, manage traffic, or ensure the safety of those being escorted. They often ride motorcycles or drive vehicles equipped to navigate quickly and handle any issues that arise.
Examples
The outrider led the procession of vehicles through the crowded streets.
