As a result of her campaign, she has been given 150 laminated A3 posters saying 'Please drive carefully '“ We don't dent, we die!'

If anyone has a property which is adjacent to a road and would like to display a poster, they are available free.

They can be collected from Oldwick Saddlery or Funtington General Stores.

In the interim, county council cabinet member for environment and economy Louise Goldsmith has met with Hannah to find out more about the problem of speeding cars forcing horses off the road in Funtington area.

She said: "I walked along the lanes in Funtington with Hannah to see the problem for myself. In 45 minutes we recorded more than 200 cars on one lane alone."

She appealed to drivers to slow down on country lanes throughout the county.
