| 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.
