Why Give Way To Horses When Driving?

In our rural community, horses are adored and common place.   In 2020, there were 1,010 road safety incidents reported to the British Horse Society, 46 horses were killed with a further 118 horses and 130 riders injured on the roads.

Today, the Dorset Rural Crime Team have released the following 15 minute video by Sergeant Owen Messenger, an officer from London who is unfamiliar with horses. He learns about the Dead Slow campaign from Alan Hiscox of the British Horse Society Safety Team and Dorset Police Constable, Heidi Moxam.  Can he then answer the question ‘Why should we give way to horses when driving?’. Please watch.
