Bridle paths, horses on the road because there aren't enough

There aren't enough bridle paths

Bridle paths

There are hardly ANY in the UK, especially compared to the amount of footpaths. Instead of moaning, how about doing something constructive and writing to your council



Horse riders constantly get moaned at for being on the road thereby causing motorists to have to slow down. I often hear people say 'horses shouldn't be on roads, that’s what bridle paths are for'.

It is currently not being used for anything except dog walking and teenage drinking. It is a lovely site a...moreA Walker
30-1-2008One thing I will apologise for ... I know I tend to rabbit on about horses, and be rather robust in some of my postings. But I would like to think I would never be downright rude and abusive ... even with the most intense provocation. As Freddie has said, I am unswerving in my conviction about t...moreNikki
30-1-2008OK, thank you Site Admin for clearing this up. I was wrong in that I thought multiple "names" were in fact one person ... it appears that they ... potentially ... were different people, but all the "people" mentioned by Site Admin as posting from the same IP address were obviou...moreNikki

29-1-2008Can site admin. please now get involved to put this to bed once and for all... Nikki, for the last time, because lots of people find your comments to be nonsense does not mean it is the same person. WAKE UP.Horse Lover
29-1-2008Horse Lover, I am only insulting those people who deserve it. Those of you who are insulting everybody's intelligence on this excellent website. In my opinion, posting under more than one name in order to create mischief is hardly something to be proud of. When it is done in such a clumsy...moreNikki
29-1-2008Nikki I think you will find you are the only person who is insulting others. And I wonder how popular it would be if YOU go?Horse Lover

You can beg and plead all you like, you have been rumbled, it is obvious you are a set-up. We have yet another riding school all of a sudden popping up out of the blue, it's jus...moreNikki
