The Dunsandel resident frequently rides around the township with her 23-year-old daughter Melissa. But lately the pair are noticing fewer and fewer drivers slowing down as they go past. “I have lived here for over 30 years and the roads are getting increasingly busy. We’ve had quite a few incidents where people have just not slowed down at all.” About a month ago, there was a particularly bad incident, Nahkies said. “A big stock and trailer unit zoomed past us on a gravel road and we weren’t in a position to cross as he’d come around a bit of a blind corner. “We got swamped in a big dust cloud. Fortunately my daugher was quick enough to get off her horse. My pony just totally freaked out, she hit the fence, she hit Melissa’s horse, somehow I managed to stay onboard but it was just really scary.” Nahkies said she understands that people think they should not ride on the road but she has been doing so for more than 30 years. “I was really angry because not only did the driver not slow down but when he was beside us, he planted his foot on the accelerator and roared off. “It just was an awful thing. I couldn’t identify the truck. People just do ridiculous things.” Melissa has experienced people deliberately doing skids on shingle roads to spray up stones. Her aim is to promote more awareness for drivers on what they should be doing around horses, Nahkies said. “I don’t think the behaviour is malicious, I think its a lack of awareness. “Slow down, move as far across the road as you possibly can and allow space like you would if someone was on a bike.” District council transportation asset delivery manager Mark Chamberlain said roading incidents, where drivers are not taking care should be directed to the police. “We do receive requests on occasion, usually to install warning signs, and we have received two requests in the past year. “The warning signs are to encourage drivers to slow down and be aware of the hazard that horses can pose to other road users,” he said.
