This is so true for anyone in any event

Every year, too many horses and riders are put at risk on our roads—not through malice, but through a lack of awareness.

The Pass Wide & Slow campaign exists to change that.

When you approach a horse on the road, you’re not just passing another vehicle—you’re passing a living, unpredictable animal. Even the calmest horse can spook at sudden noise, speed, or proximity. A simple adjustment from drivers can make all the difference.

The Highway Code gives clear guidance:
Pass at no more than 10mph and leave at least 2 metres of space.

But here’s the part many people don’t realise…

This is guidance—not law.

That said, it can still be used in court as evidence in cases of careless or dangerous driving. So while it may not be legally enforceable on its own, it absolutely matters.

There is now a growing push to change that.

A petition has been launched calling for these guidelines to be made law—giving riders, horses, and drivers clearer protection and accountability on the road.

If you care about safety—for riders, for horses, and for everyone sharing the road—please take a moment to help:

A little patience saves lives.
Pass wide. Pass slow.

These are scary examples of what can happen with horses. Be grateful that you have a kind and broke horse and not broken bones.

Good information to know

Did you know that every state in the USA offers protection to landowners who allow their land to be used for recreational riding?
