We’ve just deployed our warning signs to the local horse riding fraternity to make sure word gets out and nobody is too surprised to find the routes teeming with happy smiley cyclists on the 17th June!
We do take safety around horses very seriously as great harm can come to both horse rider and cyclist if a horse is spooked. Always call out to a horse rider to ensure they and the horse know you are there. Give the horse a wide birth and if that’s not possible stop and wait for it to pass. Bridleways are a shared national treasure and they are all the more pleasant when horse riders and cyclists respect each other.
