Just received this link in an email from the local riding club. It's a petition to equal the number of bridleways in the country (currently approx 20,000 miles) up to the same level as footpaths (approx 91,000).

Whilst I personally think that it would be difficult to do this due to the requirements of bridlepaths versus footpaths, I do agree that riders need more opportunities to be able to ride with little/no road work and that in doing so we may be able to lower the amount of encounters between cars and horses, thus accidents involving cars and horses.
Please sign, thank you
