@nprofile1q... it doesn't seem safe at all for the horses with todays traffic and the way people drive in Kent..
according to British Horse Society 56 horses are killed every year in road traffic collisions and that's even with the riders choosing "safer" rural areas (there was a nasty crash involving a pony and trap in Kent quite recently), and this came up
A lot of the problem is bad drivers, but that needs to be tackled *first* before putting *more* horses into a built up area where they are no longer a common sight.
