Slow down near horses!

In the last 5 years there have been 36 riders and 181 horses killed on UK roads.

To reduce these casualties The British Horse Society are sending out 3 clear messages to drivers.

1. When you see a horse on the road SLOW DOWN to a maximum 15mph.
2. When safe to do so pass the horse wide and slow, at least a small car’s width from the horse.
3. Drive slowly away from the horse.                          

Remember horses can be unpredictable.  

Experienced riders may help by giving hand signals.

YOU have a Duty of Care to all other road users.
