ROADSAFETY: Close pass operation to increase horse rider’s safety

There are many types of road users and it’s important that for everyone’s safety we all respect each other and understand the differences each mode of transport requires, including those with hooves!

To raise awareness and increase horse rider’s safety, yesterday (Friday 2 August) our mounted officers and horses, alongside roads policing colleagues were out in Aston conducting a close pass operation.

According to the British Horse Society (BHS), a dedicated charity supporting rider’s safety, one horse is involved in an incident on the UK’s roads every day, and last year, during 2023, three riders and 66 horses lost their lives on the UK’s roads.

During the morning, Mounted Officers PCs Phil Reed and Lindsay Watson were aboard PHs Hoyland and Treeton and patrolled local roads around Aston, leaving from local riding school Parklands.

25 drivers were stopped and spoken to. Of the 25 drivers, 21 were spoken to about their poor driving, lack of awareness and space or overall behaviour while passing horses and the other four drivers were stopped and praised for their actions.

Officers were supported by Lisa from the BHS who provided information and guidance to drivers, alongside roads policing officers, sharing educational videos and literature.

Remember when passing horses:

🐴 Slow down, do not pass any faster than 10mph

🏇 Give them space- give at least 2m when passing

🐴 If in doubt, wait and follow direction

Roads Policing Inspector Matt Collings explains more on our website- https://orlo.uk/iMSZy

As a driver you may come across riders riding two abreast and not always in single file; this is often a tactic used by riders when training young and inexperienced horses.

Riders should also be familiar with the Highway Code and follow best practice for their safety including wearing high visibility clothing and ensuring your horse’s tack fits correctly, more for horse riders can be read here- https://orlo.uk/OMHIL
