That article about horse drivers wearing high viz vests to avoid helicopters, (make it the other way around) is a piss take worthy of monty python.
Sometimes you come across as having a slightly single-service bias. I'm sure Air Clues will never be as good as the FAA version, but it is what it is.
The horse riding issue is one that the MOD takes seriously and what you read there was a report back to readers from a well founded initiative between the riding community and the flying community, to mutual benefit. The result over probably ten years has been constructive and MAY well have saved lives. No reason why it shouldn't continue to do so.
Just in case your post really was serious, I'll explain. The hi viz is so that the helo guys can see the riders and avoid them.
Scoff all you like.
