Week 5: Where I'm At
New ideas after chatting to Mum:
- Why do horses need to be on the road? Ask Invercargill City Council where horses are allowed?
- History of horses on roads, swung from main mode of transport to being a hinderance. Still people alive for whom a horse and cart was the only way to get around.

Where I'm at this week:
What - I want my project to raise awareness of the risks horse riders take on roads and educate/persuade drivers to behave more safely around horse riders.
How - I will do this through the sharing of horse riders' personal stories and experiences that create/encourage empathy and compassion. Perhaps also delving into relevant history?
Why - I want to humanise the horse riders so that drivers see them as people not just obstacles and are persuaded to treat them with more respect, making road riding safer for horse riders.
Who - A rural community (at this stage probably the rural suburbs of Invercargill, where I'm from/have connections)
Medium Ideas - Publication/Book, Narrative Website, Installation??
