We have seen 845 road incidents involving horses reported to us from 1 March 2018 to 28 February 2019, as well over a quarter of equestrians reporting that they were subject to road rage or abuse.The BHS’ award winning 'Dead? or Dead Slow?' campaign has built a solid foundation of road safety education and campaigning; to make drivers aware of what to do when they encounter horses on the road, and for riders to understand their responsibilities to keep safe on the road. 

We’re committed to spreading our 'Dead Slow' messages, and we continue to work with horse riders, driving instructor organisations, UK Mounted Police units, MPs in parliamentary debates, Road Safety organisations and large corporations including Stagecoach, John Lewis and Next, which have driver fleets on our UK roads.

You can support The British Horse Society and help us in our work to ensure the safety of horses and riders by donating to our 'Dead? Or Dead Slow?' campaign.

Help us to stop riders, drivers and horses from losing their lives on the roads.
