Rubber Ring Petition Calls for Horse Riding Access on Welsh Coastal PathSecondhandhorsestuff.com, a leading equestrian marketplace, has launched the Rubber Ring petition, calling for more horse riding access on the Welsh coastal path. The petition, which has garnered over 10,000 signatures since its launch earlier this year, is demanding multi-use status for the path to allow horse riders to use it where it is practical and safe.The Welsh coastal path, which runs for 870 miles along the Welsh coast, has been designated as a public footpath. However, less than 7 miles are available for horse riding, a huge disparity in comparison to hundreds of miles allocated for cycling. This lack of access has caused frustration among horse riders, who make up a similar number of participants in the UK to cyclists.The main challenge for horse riders is the presence of kissing gates and stiles, which restrict access to the path. These barriers also cause problems for other users, such as wheelchair users, those with pushchairs, and large or heavy dogs. The Rubber Ring petition argues that giving multi-use status to the path would benefit all users and allow horse riders to access more off-road opportunities.We believe that access onto the Welsh Coastal path should be improved to allow horse riding, said Sarah, founder of secondhandhorsestuff.com. This will allow horse riders to enjoy the beautiful scenery that Wales has to offer, and also benefit those who are visiting.The Rubber Ring petition has received widespread support from horse riders, equestrian businesses, and horse owners across Wales. Many have echoed the sentiments shared by secondhandhorsestuff.com and emphasized the need for more off-road opportunities.Multi-use access to the Welsh Coastal Path would be a great boost for horse riders across Wales. It would make it easier for us to enjoy the stunning views and access new trails, said Jane, a horse owner from Cardiff.Opening up more off-road opportunities for horse riders would also have positive impacts on our physical and mental wellbeing. It would provide a much-needed escape from busy urban areas and allow us to connect with nature, added Tom, a regular horse rider from Swansea.Secondhandhorsestuff.com, a leading online retailer of equestrian equipment and supplies, has been supporting the Rubber Ring petition since its launch and is committed to promoting horse riding and equestrian activities in Wales. The company has a range of products suitable for horse riders and their horses, including riding wear, tack, and equipment.As a company that is passionate about equestrianism, we want to do our best to support the Rubber Ring petition and help promote horse riding across Wales, said Sarah.By giving horse riders more access to the Welsh coastal path, the Rubber Ring petition aims to promote horse riding, provide more off-road opportunities, and enable people to connect with nature.
