LOOP News 12 JUL 06: HI-VIZ HORSESHorses can be spooked by low-flying helicopters, said Tom Watson, Under Secretary of State for Defence, at the launch of the campaign at RAF Benson in June. The campaign is a joint venture by the Ministry of Defence and British Horse Society. An MOD trial in 2005, conducted using helicopter crews from RAF Benson, found the largest single improvement to rider safety would be increased use of hi-viz clothing. Graham Cory of the BHS said: "The key message to come out of the review - that a horse and rider who can be seen in good time can be avoided in good time - was graphically demonstrated in the video taken from a fast, low flying Puma helicopter. "Properly attired riders and horses were visible in plenty of time for the pilots to take appropriate evasive action; those which were not so attired were invisible until the very last moment."
