Petition calling for riding schools to be exempt from lockdown restrictions

[Pleasedontdothat]

Please sign and share this petition (not mine) - I’m desperately worried about how many riding schools won’t survive another extended period of closure. Not only is riding a naturally socially distanced activity with minimal risk of coronavirus transmission, they are also vital for many people’s mental and physical health. Very few centres make a large profit and even with furlough being extended, that won’t help with the costs by of looking after the horses:

Signed! It seems v unfair that they have to close given the circumstances.

Horse riding is definitely perfect for social distancing.

Signed. It's very easy to SD on horseback, in fact most of the time you are doing that as a matter of course.

Signed

thank you for sharing. I have signed and chipped in.
Closure of riding centres does not make sense: it is easily on elf the most socially distanced sports in existance.

Signed.

I mean if you aren’t socially distancing on a horse then you’ve probably just crashed into another horse, and your problems are far more immediate than Covid...! I shall sign.
