The lack of progress is frustrating to say the least.

Whilst we know that when you are working with third parties it can take time to get responses, the lack of updates is very disheartening.

We know that to big operations like the council, the forestry commission and DEFRA we are just a dozen winging riders, so it's hardly surprising that we are not high on their priority list, but the impact on our mental health and our ponies physically health should not be underestimated. We have all lost sleep over the prospect of riding on the road, especially have witnessed two accidents this week on Parsloe Road, both as a result of drivers going too fast and not paying attention.

...And that's why we need you all to keep sharing and promoting this petition to demonstrate the support there is to keep ponies off busy roads and in the countryside where they belong.

Maybe next week I will be able to share an update from the councillors.... Here's hoping �
