Sharing the Road with Horse Riders

Horse riders and horse drawn vehicles have equal rights to share our roads. Watch out for ridden, driven or led horses.
When drivers come across horse traffic they should keep these points in mind:
o As horses can be unpredictable, drivers should slow down and give them plenty of room and never sound horns or pass a horse at high speed.
o Drivers should slow down or stop, if a rider is having difficulty with a horse
o In case drivers are signaled by a person in charge of a horse that is difficult to control, they should stop their vehicle.
Finally, horse riders must wear bright clothes and a safety helmet and obey the same general traffic laws as other vehicles such as keeping to the left and giving hand signals.
