Bridleways
We have a positive and sympathetic approach to horse riding. Riders are urged to show courtesy and restraint when using the 40 miles of bridleways within the borough.
Advice for riders
- Wear your riding hat at all times and make sure it is correctly fitted.
- Ensure that the horse's or pony's shoes are in good condition and that they are not loose or badly worn.
- Make sure that all tack (including saddle, girths, leathers and bridle) are in good condition.
- Keep to the bridleways created by the council, shut gates and ride quiety past other animals.
- If you have to ride on the road, use the left-hand side and be alert to anything that could cause your horse to shy.
- Always wear reflective clothing. Use reflective bands around your horse's fetlocks and carry a stirrup lamp if you have to ride after dark.
