We have many adverts on the TV and Radio advising us how to avoid accidents with Cyclists and Motorcyclists - but none (or very few) for horses even though there are 1000s of road related accidents in Britain each year!

We would like to collect as many signatures as possible in order to bring them back.
On behalf of the horse/ ponies in the UK we thank you for taking the time to read and sign this petition.

Seeing this grow makes me think of every close call my own horse and I have endured on those busy lanes. It is overwhelming to realize so many of you share this fear and want to see real change on our roads.

PLEASE!! sick of nearly being thrown off because of impatient people in vans.
I had a car drive right up behind my pony yesterday and beep the horn. could have ended horribly. we need more awareness!
Simple education saves lives. dont wait for a death to happen before doing something about it.
Too many people speed past at 50mph+ without a second thought. needs to be on tv so they actually learn.
Drivers have no clue how to pass a horse safely anymore. it scares me every single time I take my mare out on the lane.
