Riders assemble to spread message of road safety and other Neighbourhood News

Riders pictured at Friskney as part of the Pass Wide and Slow Hack event.

Equiclass ED Friskney, in Small End Road, Friskney, were among those to lend their support to the Pass Wide and Slow Hack event last Sunday.

This saw horse riders across the UK heading out on the roads in groups to promote safe overtaking of horses.

Two groups set off from Equiclass ED Friskney at about noon, one riding for about an hour, the other for about two-and-a-half hour, using local roads.

Their routes includes a stop at the Anchor Inn, Friskney.

A collection was held on the date for the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, but a fundraising total is not yet known.

Jo Adams, from Equiclass ED Friskney, said the event went ‘really well’ and helped promote equestrian road safety not just among drivers, but also riders.

“Everybody enjoyed the day,” she said, adding: “We will be running it again next year.”
