What is the explanation for this sign? Is it that it is assumed that very small people will be walking, and so need a sign at their eye level, whereas cyclists and horseriders (and indeed taller walkers) are separately advised of their right of way at their eye level? Or do they have exceptionally tall horses around here? The answer is more mundane - the footpath sign has slipped, not only down the sign but also round it, and in fact refers to a separate route off to the right - see Image
