You see a rider leading a horse along an unlit rural road on a foggy night. Which of the following best complies with the Highway Code’s safety advice for this situation?

Explanation

Highway Code Rule 51 advises that it is safer not to ride or lead a horse on the road at night or in poor visibility, such as fog. If you must, both rider/leader and horse should wear reflective clothing. When leading a horse at night, you should carry a light in your right hand showing white to the front and red to the rear, and the horse should have reflective bands above the fetlock joints. A fluorescent/reflective tail guard is strongly recommended. Option C is the only answer that correctly follows these requirements.
