Protocol when passing horses Please be aware when approaching/passing horses and ponies that they are flight animals and can be unpredictable, if you are approaching from behind please make the horse riders aware vocally from around 20m away and SLOW DOWN or STOP, until the riders are in a safe place for you to pass giving the horses at least 1.5m of space, horses can’t see behind them. If you are approaching head on please follow the same guidelines as above.
You can’t always hear bikes approaching, so please take this into consideration when on country lanes and around bends. Please also listen to the horse riders instructions, if they ask you to slow down or stop either vocally or with hand signals, do so, this is not only for their safety but your own. Horse riders and horses are all different experiences and ages so you may meet children, new riders or young horses.
