  On average, there is an equestrian accident on the roads every single hour of every single day. In order to be a survivor rather than a statistic, a sound knowledge of road safety matters is essential. Aimed at young riders, this book covers everything from safety helmets and reflective clothing for both pony and rider to safe saddlery checks and essential insurance. The intricacies of the highway code are explained and problems such as poor visibility, icy roads, unusual vehicles, barking dogs and off-roaders are also included. There is sensible advice on bridleway lore, stranger strategy and accident procedure all presented in an entertaining yet authoritative style and accompanied by Anne Pilgrim's delightful cartoons.
