so many people complain that there are too many horses on the roads. Also so many road accidents are being reported often ending in a horse dying. Many drivers don't take any notice of a riders warning to slow down or stop I have encountered this many times. We riders don't want to have to always ride on the road but the local bridleways are in such a bad state we have no choice.

I really thought this might just be me complaining to the void but seeing this much energy behind the idea is honestly overwhelming. It feels like people actually get how dangerous the roads are for us and our horses so maybe we can finally force them to clear those trails. I still have to go clean out the stable but I just stopped for a second to say wow this is moving faster than I ever imagined.

all bridleway depts. have budgets so its about time we had some spent this way . I have nearly been killed at least 5 times in the last year due to speading angry cars or massive heavy lorries thundering down our small narrow lanes . enough is enough. Just a thought were mostly all taxpayers other sports get football /rugby pitches, tennis courts, swimming pools, cycle lanes, dog walking paths and areas what do we get .....Nothing!
I completely agree with the need for something to hopefully be done to improve the state of bridleways, ..so many of them seriously need maintaining. It was too late for me years ago, ..as I had a horrific horseriding accident & broke my neck due to the bad state of a local bridleway!! :/ ....but Wareham Council were useless & so unhelpful, & just wriggled out of any responsibility for the state of the bridleway, ....so hence i'm petitioning for this ..so it wont be too late for my daughter, (myself occasionally), or any other riders!
so many bridle paths are over grown I had a bad accident on the road involving a car breaking my back,my confidence went after 45 yrs of riding we need to keep them all open.
Would love to be able to ride off road always but lack of bridles ways make this impossible

Any horse over 16hh struggles to fit on most bridal ways due to how overgrown they've become...and the amount of fly-tipping on some of them.
