The British Horse Society, together with
The Byways and Bridleways Trust, The National Federation of
Bridleway Associations, The Mendip Cross Trails Trust, and
The South Pennine Packhorse Trails Trust are working together
to campaign and lobby the government to provide greater equestrian
off road access now.
To date ramblers and cyclists are enjoying
an unprecedented increase in their rights of access, whilst
very little progress has been made in securing equestrian
access. We therefore consider that now is an opportune time
to petition the Government for more equestrian access now. We
therefore urge you to sign up to the Equestrian Access Now
Petition, and to encourage all other horse riders to sign
up as well. The link below will take you to
a page on the Ride UK website, which gives full details of
the petition and how to sign up to it. Click
on http://www.ride-uk.org.uk/EquestrianAccessNow.htm to
read and sign the petition. |
Be safe and be seen with BHS Herefordshire and Countrywide Stores' hi-viz competition.
The BHS Herefordshire Committee has teamed up with Countrywide Stores to launch a contest in the county to promote safer riding.
All horse riders or carriage drivers need to do is wear hi-viz clothes while riding or driving out. Countrywide Stores is sponsoring the initiative and offering a prize package consisting of a voucher for a bag of Countrywide food for the winner, as well as a head collar and rope for their horse.
BHS Herefordshire will also give £5 to the lucky winner each month. Wearing fluorescent and reflective clothing can give vital extra seconds to car drivers - time that can make the difference between life and death for you and your horse.
For more information, please contact Herefordshire Press Officer Jo Gardner on 01981 250137
