In particular section 53 provides 'keep both hands on the reins unless you are signalling'.
However, as that section says these are things you should, rather than must do, it's not actually the law.
If the horse were texting, that's a different matter though. |  |

May well be legally OK, but not v. sensible unless on a long, straight, little used country lane where he can see a long way ahead, has good hearing for vehicles coming from behind, and the horse is a placid non-jittery type.
Too many awful accidents on roads involving horses being ridden. |  |

Drive a very loud car near him. The horse will jolt and he'll fall off.
Then you can then tell him, whilst he is rubbing his arse, that texting whilst riding is not a good idea. |  |

Do you live near Barnard Castle? If so he was probably just following his instincts and that's ok. |  |

Err, isn't it the yellow pages that you turn, whilst you have your phone in the other hand.
Also you need a long extension lead...
And imagine the ignominy when you get a call and then have to hold it to the horse's ear and say 'It's for you'. [Post edited 15 Aug 2020 16:22]

Presumably just before he gets up and tells you amid the trampled wreck of your car how much more of a stupid idea yours was. |  |

Can't I just shoot him...they shoot horse riders don't they! |
No, I think you are only allowed to shoot them if they've broken a leg.
So you'd probably need to knock him off first.
I think that's right. |  |

Would all this depend on at which point in the road he'd pasture? | |

If this was about jockeying for position I think you will find that is against the spirit of the Highway Code too... | |
