Representation Summary:
Whilst generally supporting objectives 10 & 11, they both FAIL to mention the benefits of equestrianism and the provision of safe off road riding facilities. This could easily be achieved by considering equestrian use of some cycle/footpaths. Horse riding is an activity taken up by many people, including adults and children both able and disabled, and is known to have positive impact on physical and metal well being. Equestrians have just the same rights as cyclists when it comes to safety, the roads today are too overcrowded and unable to cope with horses. An equal opportunity to enjoy leisure time the same as any other activity is all we are asking
