RIDERS are being invited to have their say in the process as coronavirus restrictions are eased.

The British Horse Society (BHS) has launched a microsite on which it wants to hear from equestrians on the issues facing them and their horses, to help prepare for a return to normality.

BHS chief executive James Hick told H&H the idea was to collate good ideas, and to listen to equestrians’ views.

“We’re doing a lot of thinking, trying to consider what next moves the government might make, and how we can support our members and others to get back to economic and sporting activity,” he said.

Mr Hick said one thing the BHS and other sport-related bodies have learned through the pandemic is how systems operate.
