Since the closure of the riding tracks at the Spains Hall Estate there are more horses and ponies on roads in the area, and an increase in near misses with vehicles.
Organiser Jules Millar said: "Many drivers are not even aware of the laws that dictate how you are supposed to overtake a horse.
"Horses are animals and can frightened by anything from sudden engine noises to a bird in the hedge. There is going to be an accident of something doesn’t change."
