Always wear bright colors and use reflective strips whenever you can. Make sure the horse is used to traffic. And usually just use the same rules you would for a pedestrian and car driver.

The answer to this will vary. You can ride a horse on a road barefoot, provided the horses hooves are strong enough to handle it. If however the horse becomes sore or chips/wears down it's hooves too quickly you would do better to put boots or shoes on the horse for road riding.
What road dangers are there in horse riding?
Riding a horse on any road can pose many hazards. If your horse is easily spooked, the noise of cars whirring by can startle them and make them bolt. Also, prolonged riding on blacktop can damage your horses feet if they do not have horseshoes on. Another thing I have encountered is that dogs that chase cars also chase horses. So if you want to ride on a road, try a small country road first.

What should you take with you when riding on the road?
If you are going on any road make sure that your horse is safe to ride around traffic, even light traffic can spook any horse. If the road is paved be careful. Horse shoes can and do slip and skid on hard surfaces. I always like to put splint boots on my horses' front legs to support them on hard surfaces. If you have saddle bags or pouch keep a light weight hoof pick and bottled water for warm days. Wear approved helmets and boots or riding shoes with 1/2 inch heels. Have fun and be careful.

If riding with a group, keep in single file on side of road, with one horse length in between. 9. If a horse spooks, you should dismount immediately, and walk/lead it until it is calm. 10. Do not hit it, yell, scream or panic. Speak quietly to your horse and remount when it is safe to do so. 11. If you stay calm at all times, you will have a most enjoyable ride. 12. Horse-riding is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and appreciate a magnificent animal - the horse.
