Like it or not, road riding is a necessity for many of us whether it’s to get us from one farm to another, from our farm or stable to a trail, or because the road itself forms one section of an equestrian trail. Horses are big, powerful animals, but cars and trucks are even bigger and more powerful. What can we do to help ensure the safety of our horses and ourselves while sharing the road with motorized vehicles?
The Horse Council BC Zone Representatives in Prince George, BC, in cooperation with Shaw Community TV, produced a video that provides tips for both horseback riders and motorists on how to increase safety when horses are ridden on public roads.
