This may seem
insignificant after the recent disaster in California, but you might like to take a
glance at http://www.bridleways.co.uk/content/pages/142_oxford_riders_lose_bridleway.asp.
This is a very crowded place and we have great difficulty keeping our horses
safe from traffic. BMW, with all its resources, has managed to get a bridleway
(trail!) through its plant closed – and the British Horse Society (like
AHA – but with no financial resources) fined about $60,000 for daring to
oppose this. All the horsemen I have spoken with have modified any possible
relationship they might have with BMW!
