I read an article this week in the racing post about a a horse who was hit by a car and taken 70 yards down the road on the bonnet.The horse was destroyed before the vet arrived because he injuries were so severe.
The rider is tramatised.He was with another horse but that was okay.
Police are questioning a man.
Last April my cob Sion and i were hit by a car head on.We were stationary at the time .Sion reared over the bonnet after being hit and cantered off down the road.I hit the ground then the car hit my back and bottom of my kneck.My first thought was the horse.I got up hobbled screaming and phoning my hubby.Sion was shaken and bruised but no damage.I told the driver to stay put whilst i caught sion.But he didn`t.So i got the police involved.Described the car the driver and some of the reg number.Over a year on someone has heard a fella bragging in a pub saying he stashed the car after hitting a horse,but the leads have come to nothing.
My confidence is still not 100% but a lot better than last year.I put sion up for sale after,although he was good in traffic and the accident didn`t faze him it did me and he knew it, i couldn`t ride him.
After alot of help from my friend Abbiegirl,my sister and my hubby i have regained my confidence.I am so glad i didn`t sell sion.We do dressage go out in the trap go hacking etc.
I don`t go hacking on my own but i have plenty of friends to go out with.I have never been back down the lane i was run into.
