For many equestrians, hacking out is part of a weekly routine, and for some, riding on the roads is their only option. Whether you are riding on the road or off-road, it is important to know your responsibilities as an equestrian to keep you, your horse and others safe.
How to plan a ride
Riding out & hacking
Everything you need to know when riding out or hacking – including planning your route, what to wear, and common incidents and how to handle them.
Common incidents
Incident reporting
We urge all riders and carriage drivers to report every incident they are involved in, regardless of severity, via our horse incidents reporting hub online or our Horse i app. This allows us to collate statistics on incidents across the UK, to help better understand the rate of equine-related incidents and, ultimately, to use this data to lobby for change in safety laws.
