Yes, It depends on the softness of your horse's feet (If they are having a hard time walking on gravel/blacktop roads then they should be shod) But it doesn't hurt them at all.

It is better to ride with someone on the roads.In most areas you can ride on the road so long as you are wearing appropriate safety gear including a helmet, boots, and a safety vest and possibly something reflective. Typically you'll want to stay out of traffic and on the sidewalks if able. If you must be on the road, insure that motorists see you well before you move in any direction. It's also wise to check with your local laws to see if it's legal to ride in the streets.Yes you canyes, but no faster than trot and learn to use your arms as indicators to where you are going. I would also ensure that the horse is "road safe" before you ride it. This means that it has been conditioned to road traffic and will not spook and put you in a dangerous position.Defenitly


Riding your new horse?

Well when you first ride your new horse you want to just get a feel for how the horse reins and how he or she reacts to your leg and hand signals. Your horse may have been trained differently then you, and you should just get the feel of him or her the first time you ride. Hopefully you have not bought the horse yet and you are just trying him or her out at the breeders, but if you have bought him of or her already, that is OK too.


Are horses legal on the highway?

Unless your in Amish Country the general answer to that is NO. Most highways do not allow vehicles unable to keep to a certain speed or pedestrians, and this would include horses. So unless your horse is IN a horse trailer and going at highway speeds, no.

Is it ok to ride a horse when it has a cut on its leg?

It depends on the severity of the cut. If it is a deep cut, if it bleeds when the horse moves too much, or if the horse limps from the pain of it, then no, you should not ride the horse. However, if the horse doesn't limp because of it, if it doesn't bleed, and if it isn't very deep, then I think it should be OK to ride. Ask your vet to be safe.

If you had a bad fall of a horse how do you boost your confidance?

Ok well as the saying goes get back on the horse. If riding is something that you are serious about the feeling to ride will overpower your fear of falling off again and if that's not the case and you still feel insecure about riding ride an older or more relaxed horse that is somewhat to easy for you to be riding and eventually you will feel comfortable riding again!

No, that would be illegal. And extremely dangerous. Most 'A' roads would be off limits in this case, but B roads are ok to ride on. However, plans are being made for a cycling road on a motorway in London.
