Reporting an Incident
Reporting an Incident
The new BHS dedicated accident reporting website is
now live. Any incidents involving a horse while riding on the Highway should be reported on this site.
We hope that everyone who is involved in any equestrian related incident will go directly to the website and report their issues. The main forms on the website cover equestrian related road accidents, slippery road surfaces, dangerous dogs, low flying, fireworks, and wind turbines. 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.
Please tell as many people as you can about this brilliant new website and ask them all to use it whenever they have a problem.
