Around 3000 horse-related traffic accidents are reported every year in the UK and although, thankfully, very few human fatalities occur as a result of these accidents the number of horses that are killed runs into hundreds. Many riders do not have access to bridlepaths and private farmland or find that these can only be reached via roads. With increasing numbers of motorists and a growing intolerance of horses on the road the problem is significant.
