Petitions

I would ask all members to sign the petition asking the Government to give them a say in all new access & rights of way legislation.

Sign the petition at   http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Equestrianaccess/

Equestrians are the most vulnerable of road users& need increased off-road access for their safety & the welfare of their horses. Horse riding & carriage driving provides healthy outdoor exercise which the Government is keen to encourage, it is enjoyed by over 4 million peoplein the UK & is the second biggest land based industry but equestrians have not been included in the recent access- creating legislation which would help make them safer & encourage healthy outdoor recreation.   

Please sign we can’t all ride on surfaces or use equestrian centres.
