Horse riding on roads is not permitted

"Please comply" say police on social media

Police have asked horse riders not to take their horses on the roads, whilst government's Covid-19 emergency measures are in place.

In a post on social media, they say doing so "is not on the list of permitted activities."

Riders are instead asked to exercise on their own, leaving horses in fields.

Officers say "sorry, it's for a short term but please comply."
