All of us have to ride on the road at some point and I bet you have had some very inconsiderate car drivers racing past you too close. It isn't surpising that stressed out commuters are not happy to see a horse and rider, but if we take the effort to smile and thank them for being patient, they may just be a bit more considerate to others. If possible, trot onto a safe point where you can step off the road to allow the tailback of traffic to pass you.

BHS research shows that wearing fluorescent and reflective clothing gives drivers 3 more seconds, (an extra 25 feet of braking distance) - this could be the difference between you and your horse staying safe, or a horrendous accident.

Don't be one of the 3,000 road traffic accidents involving horses per year. This is the equivalent to 8 everyday and 1 in 5 is so bad the horse has to be put down!!!

A list of guideline 'Do and Don't' when riding on the road, can be found at BHS - Road Sense for Riders

Riding & Road safety tests

Riders should dispense with vanity and wear bright, fluorescent clothing.

* Always wear hat and gloves when riding on the road

* If you have to lead your horse, walk on the outside you can encourage the horse to keep away from the traffic

* Keep a note of emergency contact details on you when out riding. These include your vet and someone that can take charge of your horse in-case you are unconcious

* Body Protectors  - you wither love them or hate them

* Don't ride after dusk unless absolutley necessary and ensure you have lights, hi-viz and reflective clothing.
