Rider Road Safety!!!

Recent government reports find that nearly 50% of male drivers and 30% of female
drivers consider it acceptable to speed on rural roads.

And they only consider they are speeding if they are doing at least 10mph over the speed
limit. As horse and pony riders it is essential that we know how to ride on roads safely.

Please read the BHS riding and road craft book, consider taking the BHS Road Safety Exam.

Details and venues available from the club, just drop us an email.

Remember to wear fluorescent reflective clothing when hacking out. Your horse or pony should also have fluorescent leg bands - £10 per pair:- Not much to give you 3 seconds more driver recognition time.

Body Protectors

As of the 2007 season it will be compulsory for all junior competitors participating in working hunter or show jumping classes to wear an approved body protector. The club ask that for the remainder of the season all parents try to ensure that if their child is jumping that they are wearing a body protector.

Car Parking

On points shows the club have noticed the huge increase of spectators coming to take a look around of which we are delighted about.

We would just like to ask car drivers to please park in the designated areas only. There is a field just a short way up Heights Lane on the left hand side which is purely for car parking and all horse vehicles park in the field by the showground. Cars are strictly not allowed in this area as we have such a large volume of competitors.

Please can drivers refrain from parking on the lane that runs alongside the show ground and on Heights Lane near turnings in and out of the show fields. This causes a lot of congestion that could easily be avoided!
