The Driving Confidence Podcast Navigating Horse Encounters: Promoting Awareness and Safety for Horse Riders and Drivers
In this episode, Kev and Tracey are joined by Alan Hiscox, the director of safety for the British Horse Society. They discuss the importance of respecting and understanding horse riders as vulnerable road users.
We chat about:
- The key messages for passing a horse safely
- The three brains on the road, you, the rider and the horse
- Resources on the BHS website
While listening to this episode, ask yourself:
- How do you feel when encountering a horse on the road?
- Have you previously considered the perspective of the horse or rider?
- Would you feel confident knowing what to do next time you encounter a horse?
