5. The Greensand Horse Riding Pass holder shall not interfere with any person’s lawful enjoyment of the land and shall not use the permissive routes in any way so as to endanger any other member of the public using the paths.

Do not put any other user in any danger.  Be considerate of other users especially where the permissive horse routes cross public footpaths and permissive horse routes and on the approaches to the wood where tracks pass private residences. 

6. The Greensand Horse Riding Pass holder shall keep to designated permissive horse routes and public bridleways within the site as shown by directions in the wood and/or marked on the official Horse Permit Route map.

9. The Greensand Horse Riding Pass holder shall reimburse the land owner in respect of any damage (other than normal wear and tear of routes as a result of normal use under this pass) caused to the land, or any property on the land, by himself/herself or the horse.

16. The pass(es) will be issued by email upon completion of purchase - your digital pass via email acts as your Pass and should be shown on request.
