On-Line Petition

An online petition to save our bridleways and keep death off the roads

More fatalities of horse and rider occurred last year than any other year, and the numbers are rising. We are campaigning to open up all bridleways, keep, maintain and use existing bridleways regularly to ensure safe off road riding. The petition also campaigns to open old, overgrown bridleways and forge a network throughout the country for safe off road riding.

Traffic and horses don't mix. No matter how safe your horse is it will not survive being rammed from behind by a speeding car. Flesh and blood loses every time to metal machine. As congestion, and road rage increases so does you and your horses chance of serious injury.

Make your voice heard for safe off road riding and visit www.petition-them.com to register your support. We need to influence local and central government to ensure that at the very least current bridleways are kept open and clear. As this petition grows we will contact all the relevant agencies so that they can see the strength of feeling.'
