Subdivision sizes, planning & development have actively encouraged horse owners / riders into the area. Developed and maintained riding trails, some through towns themselves, are part of this vision. Subsequently, these are beautiful, sort after areas attracting very high property values. Your shire could be the same!

Horse riders are members of our community and although a minority group they are environmentally responsible members of the community. Horse riding is a family sport and a sport which encourages oneness with nature. Motor vehicles are a constant threat to our safety on public roads and off road riding is the safest option.
Please keep open trails for us!

The Horse World is an enormous part of our economy but pleasure riders are always on the back burner for services and safe places to ride or drive their animals.

We use all the trails and feel very strongly about the usage being changed. These trails in Yirrip Reserve, Bunjil Reserve, Wimbi Reserve and Bulwidj Reserve have historically been used by horse riders . Another very important issue is that of safety, it is much safer for everyone, cars included if horses ride on trails rather than on the roads.

Nillumbik are unable to provide evidence of any weed infestation, erosion or any other negative impact caused by horses within these reserves. Environmental, social and economic considerations should be given equal weight when considering the future of these areas which were given to the whole community and were never meant to be locked away for conservation.

It is far less destructive than many other activities. Horse enthusiasts make up a large nimber of Nillumbik rural property owners, and their rights must be respected.

"That an area of approx 4 sq Miles on both sides of the Yarra from Banksia St, Heidelberg to Warrandyte be reserved for RECREATION".
Not for locking up as these mad Green zealots are trying to do.

traditional equestrian area), " she would not be happy until all cloven hoffed animals had been removed from Nillumbik??

I live close to the Warburton trail and have been riding there weekly for 14 yrs. and the horse riders share with pushbikes, walkers, people pushing prams, dog walkers etc., and have NEVER come across a problem sharing. People are very welcoming to the horses and usually want to stop and say hello. Good luck, think positive .

Please reconsider your Policies towards cutting back on our much valued Trails within Nillumbik Shire. We are fast running out of safe places to be able to peacefully ride around our beautiful Neighbourhood. With the rapid growth and subdivision within our area - the amount of road traffic is now becoming FAR TOO UNSAFE for us to ride on the roads. Most drivers nowadays do not give Horse and rider a safe passage past. Please allow us to ride peacefully on safe trails.

Many small roads have been closed over the last decade in this area - with the land being used by private landowners. This is gradually forcing riders, both adults and children on to more major roads, which is dangerous to both horses and riders.
