Accompanied horses or ponies likely to be in or crossing road ahead
A red triangle with a horse and rider warns that you may meet ridden horses or led ponies on the carriageway. Horses startle easily — pass slowly (under 15 mph if you can), give wide clearance (at least 2 metres / passing-distance of an open car door), don't rev your engine, and don't sound your horn.
