DRIVING NEAR HORSES.
• In NSW, horse riders have the right to share
our roads. They have the same rights and
responsibilities as other drivers, motorcycle
riders and bike riders.
• Be aware that horses can be easily frightened
and unpredictable.
• Slow down and take extra care on bends,
crests and on narrow roads, particularly in
areas close to horse riding schools or where
you see warning signage.
• If you’re passing a horse, whether it’s being
ridden or led, or is pulling a vehicle, remember
to:
o slow down and allow plenty of room when
overtaking
o never use your horn or rev your engine as
this could scare the horse.
• It’s not just about leaving enough room while
passing a horse, it’s about not driving too fast
or making loud noises that might scare them.
• If you are involved in a crash, you are required
to stop and provide relevant information such
as contact details and vehicle registration. If
someone is injured, call Triple Zero (000). If a
horse is injured, contact the nearest vet.
• Ensure you are familiar with and follow any
warning signs alerting you to the presence of horses.
