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.

Riding a pedal tricycle on the road typically requires following the same traffic rules as bicycles. This includes obeying traffic signals and signs, riding in the same direction as traffic, and using bike lanes when available.

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.
