Campaigns

This page provides links to enable every interested rider to get involved with some of our campaigning work. We currently have petitions to sign, and letters that need to be sent to your MP. If you support the relevant work, please take a few minutes to add your name or write a letter!

  • Sign the petition to the Prime Minister to provide funding and use legislation for creation of new public bridleways!
  • Sign the petition to the Prime Minister to repeal the cut off day for recording bridleways, now they've stopped the research project to record them all first!

  • Donate to our 'BMW' Access Fighting Fund!

    From time to time, Members of Parliament have the opportunity to express how they feel about issues of the day in the form of adding their support to Early Day Motions (EDMs). You can find out whether your MP has indicated public support for the issues below by selecting your county from the links offered. If your MP hasn't yet supported, why not write to ask whether he would? If any other EDMs relevant to equestrians appear, we'll list them here too.

  • 2007/8: EDM 14 - Horse Riding Establishments and Insurance for MPs in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
