Central London echoed to the sound of clattering hooves as a group of horses and riders from World Horse Welfare, joined by familiar faces from the worlds of entertainment and equestrianism, Rode to Parliament in a bid to press for the passage of the Kept Animals Bill and raise awareness of the live export to slaughter of horses.

Tourists and passers-by were transfixed by the sight of the horses and their riders, including Radio 2 DJ, horse lover and World Horse Welfare Patron Sara Cox; equestrian influencer and World Horse Welfare Rehomer This Esme and equestrian legend Jane Holderness-Roddam. The ride took just over 45 minutes from South Carriage Drive in Knightsbridge, through Hyde Park to Constitution Hill and along The Mall before arriving at Parliament.

The ride marked the start of the charity’s #StopHorseSmuggling appeal to help finish what Ada Cole started and ensure that no horse from Britain is transported abroad live for slaughter.

The superbly behaved horses, supplied and led by Carol Andrews, owner of Wimbledon Village Stables, were flanked by Mounted Police for safety before coming to a halt in the very heart of the city, at Victoria Gardens South just outside the Houses of Parliament.
