Hi Im not sure if this is the right place I recently met the most conscientious trail riders whist riding near Haldon in Devon, not only did the all go above and beyond they were so polite and made sure they were ok to pass my worried pony it made the experience for the pony such a positive one, now you may be asking why Im emailing you, well after thanking the last rider which my pony thought was definitely the scariest he mentioned that they were members of TRF and they follow your practices so can I just say a massive THANK YOU from my pony and myself for making the roads safer Mary-Ellen Heale
As posted on FB, we are pretty sure this was us on Sunday, on our way to Ruggadon. The lad at the back, Glenn, stopped to chat to the horse rider and told her we were TRF and the code etc. We had stopped, engines off, 200 yards away from her and asked what she wanted us to do. I was leading and she gave me a big smile and a thanks. It was nice on Sunday we saw quite a few equestrian types and they all got the same from us.
Its not hard and leads to people thinking we are not a bunch of scumbags after all. If we want to keep our access we have to win the charm offensive.

Also had similar this week from a lady in North Devon - tagged her in a post on the Devon Facebook page and she posted up a couple of videos. She also posted on the Barnstaple Community facebook page which received lots of positive comments.
