1,2,3 What Do You See?

Written By: Flt Lt Raph Winstanley

RAF Odiham has been raising awareness of the presence of horses this summer.

Encouraging the safety of both horse and rider and to remind people what actions can be taken to promote horse safety.

We have been asking riders and owners of horses to make themselves as visible as possible when out horse riding, utilising high visibility clothing for both horse and rider, if we can see you, we can take the appropriate action, both when we are flying and/or driving.

We have asked that the message is shared far and wide to help our equestrian community and in turn, our helicopter crews.

RAF Odiham supports our equestrian colleagues in the use of high visibility clothing. Riders of all ages are encouraged to wear high visibility clothing when riding to allow others to see them at the earliest opportunity.

Let us see you, before you see us and we can do our best to avoid you, working together as one team.
