You could also argue for adding commas around the participle phrase (The horse, raced past the barn, fell.), but it is still correct without them.

The most impressive part is how fast you are saying participle. My speech impediment would never allow it.

It's as though an entire language was developed to talk about the language.

Also much easier to parse as “ridden past”.

I did not understand the horse sentence the first time around. I got it this time, but it took some work. 😂

Wouldn’t a well placed comma clarify both sentences. Didn’t see the other post, so I apologize if I missed the point.

I finally got it when I thought "The car driven past the house broke down"

What of interpreting it as “the horse raced past the evil barn”?

Another I like is “the cheese the rat the cat the dog chased stole rotted.”
