Road users need to be more considerate of horse riders, according to local equestrians.

That's why many across Herefordshire and Worcestershire are supporting today's national 'Pass Wide and Slow' campaign which aims to raise awareness of the issue.

Horse riders in Bromsgrove, Redditch, Malvern and Hereford are taking part in events today.

According to the latest data from Department of Transport, there were 22 road accidents that involved an object or animal being on the road, in 2019.
