Tthe new BHS dedicated accident reporting website
www.horseaccidents.org.uk

The website cover equestrian related road accidents, slippery road surfaces, dangerous dogs, low flying, fireworks, wind turbines and bridleway gates.  There is also room to report any other incident so that we can monitor other issues and include additional reporting forms as they become necessary.  There is also a plethora of other useful equestrian safety information, advice and guidance for all riders and carriage drivers, plus a host of other useful stuff.

We all know that without hard statistical evidence, we are not in a position to lobby those in a position to make changes.  ‘Statistics Make a Difference – Help us make a change’  tell us about it at www.horseaccidents.org.uk and we will take matters forward.
