Safety when encountering horses

There are around 149 accidents involving horses on our roads every year, resulting on average in two deaths and 130 injuries to riders.

In general, you should treat horses as a potential hazard and expect the unexpected. Horses are easily scared by noise and may panic around fast moving vehicles.

For more information follow the link to the government's THINK! Road Safety website pages for advice on Horse Sense for Motorists.
