No news yet on whether the horse survived, but it didn't look good. I went out to do my horse at ten to four, and as we were driving up the hill, we passed a Romany caravan and a sweet little chestnut pony. Mum and I even said to each other what a lovely day for it; the family looked so content and happy. I remember when we passed them (going in the opposite direction) that there were two cars about to swing out to overtake, who then had to duck back in to avoid the traffic coming up the hill.
When we returned half an hour later, the road was completely closed from the top of the hill to the bottom; the horse had been hit by a car just seconds after we went through. I still feel sick now; the air ambulance was flown in, and reports said that the horse would probably be put down due to the severity of its injuries; one person was taken to hospital with minor injuries. That poor, poor horse - and the poor family. It' been on my mind all evening; why are people such a***holes on the road?
