To be honest they shoudnt have been riding next to each other on a windy road like that. And why the hell didnt the rider go behind the other horse so the car could pass? idiot rider!

@no1horselover

The rider or horse on the inside may be a novice or young and therefore the rider on the outside is protecting them whilst they learn.

Another reason for riding two abreast is because there is not sufficient room for a vehicle to overtake safely and allow the riders safe passage – this would normally be because the road is narrow and there is nowhere for the riders to get out of the way onto a grass verge or gateway.

The advert has been shown many thousand of times, and is still being shown. As this advert is a filler, it is mostly shown on the extra channels at off peak times. The British Horse Society is extremely grateful for the adverts being shown, but as there is no charge for this to the BHS we have no control over when and where it is shown. However, it is good that the advert is being noticed and hopefully riders will be safer on the roads.

The British Horse Society is doing such a good job. Well done.

I'm loving this video as well on the basis that the cyclists and horse riders should indeed stick together out there. The rules are "neigh" identical (Pardon the pun, please) in that they are allowed to ride single file and have a right to be here on the road. Needless to say, no horse sense may well get the rider and the car driver damaged if our animals here get in a flap.

Wide, slow and keep the noise low.

im doing my test soon anyone got any tips? reli need them :)

[sharna1forever]

the test is really eye opening i did my bhs rider and road saftey test last year and some of the stuff i didnt know and it really helped. especially as my pony went a bit green on the road after we were nearly taken out by a speeding transit van (it passed so fast and close i could of leant slighty over and touched it ! plus they opened the door onto us with rattling poles on top my pony was practically broom proof before this happened :L ) i'm so glad i toke the exam

This add is really great! I am German and have friends in UK. Whenever I fly over to the Island and hack out I notice the drivers on the roads are all very careful and do follow the advises given in this add, much opposite to German drivers who often are pretty careless and selfish with us horse riders on roads. Wish we had adds like that, too!

Please look for STOP HORSE RAGE on facebook... We want to start an INTERNATIONAL STOP HORSE RAGE campaign..... Thanks......

[DaniiLovesU]

This is a good video!

Should deffinatley be put on the TV more often!

[Fall0utpony]

you have people who don't think but also people who don't care they would if they knew they could be injured or killed. non-riders need to realise they're at risk too. i'm glad my college makes us do our riding and road safety. I still think the driving test should have an equine related portion.

[tangocolt02]

Yeap was an idiot driver that put an end to my life with horses lol.. yay for wheel chairs.

[LilMizzHorseyHx]

haha!

serves the driver right, sweet revenge :L

this is an awesome advert and should be shown on major channels!

Then people wouldn't drive their 'precious', and REPLACABLE cars up a living animals backside!

GRRR, i hate it when drivers are impolite, but there are the nice ones, that should be congratulated :) i always say thank you to the good ones, but scowl into the bad ones wing mirrors! :L :) xx
