Police horses are back and out for the public to meet, as they go to many of our local communities here are a few tips to stay safe around police horses:
The welfare of our horses – along with the safety of their riders and the public - is our priority.
You can help us by following these six simple rules when near our horses: Ask permission from rider to approach and always follow their instruction. Only approach the horse from the front or side where the animal and rider can see you. Move slowly, calmly and confidently, and avoid tight spaces. Stand to the side of the horse - never directly in front or immediately behind the animal. Never feed our horses or approach them with food. Only touch the horse with clean hands, if invited to by its rider. You must wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after touching the animal. Remember: Children must be always accompanied by an adult when near the horses. Dogs must be on a lead, under control and kept well away from the animals. Drivers must follow the Highway Code and drive slowly, giving plenty of room and be ready to stop. You must not sound your horn, rev your engine or quickly accelerate away once you have passed the animal. Drones must not be flown near to the horses. You must only touch the rider in an emergency. You may be committing a criminal offence if you touch the rider in any other circumstances.
