CAMPAIGN FOR MORE EQUESTRIAN ACCESS NOW
The British Horse Society, The
Byways and Bridleways Trust, The National Federation of Bridleway Associations,
The Mendip Cross Trails Trust, and The South Pennine Packhorse Trails Trust are
working together to campaign and lobby the government to provide greater
equestrian off road access now.
To date ramblers and cyclists are enjoying an unprecedented increase in their
rights of access, whilst very little progress has been made in securing
equestrian access.
The Petition: Equestrian Access Now
"More opportunities for off road horse riding and driving are needed now. We ask the Government to deliver a comprehensive network of off-road horse riding and driving routes now."
