Well, the week from hell continues! Tonight I took Deano for a short hack, just to stretch his legs. As we headed home (on a quiet country road) a car pulled out of the yard near us and came towards us at speed. Deano is great with traffic but the road is extremely narrow so I indicated quite frantically for her to slow down. She didn't, and tried to skim past us. The next thing I heard a huge THUNK. I thought she had hit him so my first feeling was relief when I realised that he had kicked out as she passed. However there is now a sizable dent in the side of her car which she is trying to claim for through my insurance. Has anyone experienced anything like this before and how did it turn out? Am I really liable? Can't think of anything I could have done differently to prevent it (needless to say both he and I were decked out in high viz).
Deano thank god seems fine - calm and sound although I will trot him up again first thing. He passed another car (which did slow down as requested) a few minutes later with no fuss so hopefully he won't now be scared of them.
Roll on Saturday and the new yard with its lovely off road hacking.
Thanks for reading and please have some of my wine before I down the lot!
