Be Seen, Be Safe!


Wear hi-vis and reflective equipment, ideally on both you and on your horse, which can be seen from above as well as from the front, rear and side

As a minimum the rider should wear a vest or jacket and leg bands for the horse. You could also consider wearing LED lights.

If you're under 18 years of age and riding on the road, you MUST wear a helmet in accordance with the Victorian Road Laws.

Helmets must conform to one of the current approved Australian safety standards.
