Can I lead my shetland pony on a pavement If not can her the road or do i need to stand and live in UK?

According to the Highway Code in the United Kingdom, it is permissible to lead a Shetland pony or any horse on a pavement or footpath unless there is a local by-law that prohibits it. However, it is generally advisable to use the road instead, particularly if there is heavy pedestrian traffic.

When leading a pony or horse on the road, it is important to take the necessary safety precautions. This includes walking on the left side of the road, facing oncoming traffic, and keeping the animal close to the curb. It is also a good idea to wear reflective clothing and carry a flashlight or other light source if leading a pony at night.

If there is no pavement or footpath available, it is permitted to stand and lead the pony in the road. However, this should only be done as a last resort, as it can be dangerous for both the pony and the person leading it.

Additionally, it is important to be aware of any local by-laws that may prohibit leading a pony on the pavement or road. These by-laws can vary from one jurisdiction to another, so it is always a good idea to check with the local authorities before taking a pony or horse onto a public roadway.
