where the hell else are we supposed to go#? i wouldnt b able to keep my horse if i couldnt ride on the road!!..sorry to gbe blunt but they should bloomin well repsect us riders just as much as they respect any other road user!! (sorry bit of a rant as had some complete tw*ts come past me this morning!
horses were about well before cars anyway and it doesnt take one minute for them to slow down and just wait..
fran 123t i am the same here wouldnt be able to go out of our gate if we couldnt ride on the road and to be honest sad as this is i quite enjoy it going to new places and seeing the sights my horse enjoys it to. and the thing about it is when our yard was built 50 years ago it was just fields around it (tho i wasnt born only been told lol) and over the years they have built round us and its become busy thats not our fault!
yeh i know!! i mean im lucky enoght to live on a farm and we have 2 tracks whcih we can WALK on but they are attached to roads and we dont have any grass tracks or anything so im stupmed if i wasnt allowed on the roads!
I think its totally up to us. How dare they even run a poll on it! Its like a poll asking if "cyclists should be on the road" or "walkers" or "caravans"!!!
I dont even ride on the road very much anymore due to the dangers nowadays, however Id still want the choice!
