What is a Horse Highway?
- A Horse Highway is a road designated for ridden animals, animal drawn vehicles, bicycle riders & hikers. Motorised vehicles must give right-of-way.
- Motorised vehicles can still use the Horse Highway at reduced speed, with respect for non-motorised highway users.
- It is the safe way to contain all the horse traffic using the Trails Network around Australia.
How do we create a Horse Highway ?
- We will select a secondary, dirt, country road, with the cooperation of Shire Councils.
- The selected rural road will be submitted to the State Government for approval.
- The approved road will be officially re gazetted as a Horse Highway - the first in the World
Why have a Horse Highway ?
- The Horse Highway is the backbone that links the Trails Network through the Country Shires.
- It is the means of moving from Shire to Shire .... as you "See Australia by Horse".
- A Horse Highway will give a rebirth to Cobb & Co coach rides, wagon train caravanning, a range of other animal drawn vehicles.
- It will give all these adventure seeking tourists access to many towns & villages.
- The Horse Highway creates the means by which so many businesses once thriving in animal drawn vehicle building can enjoy a revival.
- This will flow on to many a business in Towns & Villages around the Australian Horse Highway & Trails Network.
But - we need the support of those of capacity & imagination ... to fund the creation of it.
