The group hope to make a big impact as they feel the lack of facilities for horse riders is getting out of hand.

Sharon said: “We have got nowhere and often vehicles can bump into our horses.

“We ended up down by Salt Ayre the other day and there was a man on his bike swearing at us to move, saying we shouldn’t be here and I had children with us.

“The children were training for a little competition, cyclists are training for their sport but there are no facilities in Morecambe for horse riders.

“Everybody seems to think anyone who has a horse grew up with a silver spoon in their mouth.

“We are going to be a bit of a nuisance during the protest and that is why I want to apologise to good road users.”
