It is a petition to change footpaths into bridlepaths where possible

We have a bridleway that changes to a footpath for one field and then to a bridleway again. It's ridiculous.

Only fair after all everyone else is allowed on our 17 % access why should'nt we be allowed on theirs

Where I live (Kirklees) signposted many lanes and packhorse trails as footpaths decades ago. To reclaim these as ridden routes takes years (some are still ridden regularly, others wide enough for horses but blocked by styles) . I'll gladly sign the petition as something somewhere is wrong when the authorites/ government think we enjoy risking our lives, our horses lives and potentially other road users lives through being signposted off these ancient routes onto increasingly busy roads. Perhaps if some famous horsey names could voice how dangerous things are something may happen..............

Signed, hope it does happen! There was a thing about this from the BHS guy on here so they are obviously thinking about it.

Also there are lots of volunteer bridleway groups throughout the country who also work alongside the BHS. making claims for the upgrade of footpaths to bridleways which is a long and tiring process but someone has to do it. The more people who get involved in this the better, even if it's just to complete an evidence form to say you've ridden a route in support of a claim.
