Horses spooked by motorists who fail to slow downpublished at 12:02 BST 15 April 2019
Horse riders in the south of the county say their lives are regularly being put at risk by motorists who fail to slow down when overtaking.
The guidance for drivers is to drop their speed to 15 miles per hour and leave a 2m gap when overtaking a horse.
Katie Merret, from the Equiclass Equestrian Centre at Friskney near Boston, says many motorists simply ignore the rules:
Quote MessageThis is a problem that has been going on for a very long time. It's happened quite a lot. There's been a few incidents around here where cars have gone too fast or come around a corner too quickly, seen a horse, slammed the brakes on and the horse is spooked and gone in to the path of that oncoming traffic."
