Rules about animals•Rule 51
Safe Horse Riding at Night
At night. It is safer not to ride on the road at night or in poor visibility, but if you do, make sure you wear reflective clothing and your horse has reflective bands above the fetlock joints. A light which shows white to the front and red to the rear should be fitted, with a band, to the rider’s right arm and/or leg/riding boot. If you are leading a horse at night, carry a light in your right hand, showing white to the front and red to the rear, and wear reflective clothing on both you and your horse. It is strongly recommended that a fluorescent/reflective tail guard is also worn by your horse.
💡Example
When riding or leading a horse at night, wear reflective clothing and ensure your horse has reflective bands above its fetlock joints. For example, if you decide to ride your horse along a country lane after dusk, wear a reflective jacket and attach a light to your right arm showing white at the front and red at the back, while ensuring your horse is similarly equipped with reflective gear and a tail guard.
