Thank you to Alan Hiscox of the British Horse Society who helped organise an awareness day for the "Dead Slow Campaign" here at Great Bookham Equestrian Centre at the weekend. We were very grateful also to Surrey Police for assisting with educating drivers on how to pass horses safely on the road. Sometimes horse riders can hear or see something that a driver cannot and horses can move very fast in any direction if they are startled. Together with the new changes in the Highway Code that were implemented in 2022 and, as our roads locally have become busier with people visiting local Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty or National Trust properties, it was helpful to highlight how drive safely through our lovely countryside.
