No Horses sign

This No Horses Sign provides a clear and easily understood instruction that horses and horse riding are not permitted beyond the designated point or within the identified area. The sign is suitable for locations where equestrian access needs to be restricted to protect pedestrians, property, surfaces, wildlife or other site users.

The simple prohibition message helps horse riders recognise that the route or area ahead is not intended for equestrian use. Clear signage can help prevent accidental access where several paths, tracks or entrances are located close together.

This sign is suitable for parks, footpaths, private land, woodland areas, landscaped grounds, pedestrian routes, recreational areas, nature reserves, visitor attractions and other locations where horses are not permitted.

It can also be used at entrances to private roads, gardens, sports grounds, pedestrian areas and other sites where access by horses would be unsuitable or contrary to the established site rules.

Where a network of paths includes designated equestrian routes, a No Horses Sign can help distinguish pedestrian only routes from bridleways or other paths where horse riding is permitted.

This can be particularly useful at junctions where a bridleway meets a footpath or another route with different access arrangements. Clear signs help riders identify the appropriate route before proceeding.

Restricting horse access may be necessary where paths are narrow, surfaces are unsuitable or there is insufficient space for horses to safely pass pedestrians and other users.

Horse traffic may also be restricted where land managers need to protect landscaped areas, playing surfaces, sensitive habitats or paths that could be damaged by repeated equestrian use.

The sign provides a clear visual instruction to riders and can reduce the need for staff, landowners or site managers to repeatedly explain local access restrictions.

The No Horses Sign should be positioned at a prominent location where riders can see the restriction before entering the prohibited area. Suitable locations include gates, fences, path entrances, trail junctions and access points.

Where a rider needs to change direction after seeing the sign, it is useful to position the notice where sufficient space is available to safely stop and turn the horse where practicable.

On larger sites, additional signs may be appropriate at different entrances to ensure that riders approaching from multiple directions receive consistent information.

The sign can be used alongside directional arrows and appropriate Bridleway or Horse Route signs where an alternative route is available. Providing clear alternative directions can help guide horse riders away from restricted areas.

This No Horses Sign can form part of a wider countryside and recreational signage system alongside No Cycling, No Motor Vehicles, Dogs On Leads, Public Footpath, Bridleway and other access management signs.

Clear route signage can be particularly useful at country parks and recreational sites where walkers, cyclists, horse riders and other visitors use neighbouring paths with different access arrangements.

The wording and positioning of the sign should accurately reflect the access arrangements for the particular land or route. The presence of a sign does not itself create or remove a legal right of access.

Landowners and site managers should ensure that any restriction displayed is appropriate to the location and consistent with any applicable public rights of way, access rights or other legal requirements.

Where access arrangements change, signage should be reviewed and updated to prevent riders from being directed incorrectly or unnecessarily restricted from a route they are entitled to use.

Signs installed outdoors should be positioned where vegetation, gates or other objects will not obscure the message. Regular checks can help ensure the sign remains visible and legible throughout the year.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with clear print and excellent visibility, this No Horses Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for identifying routes, paths and areas where horses and horse riding are prohibited.
