GRRRR!!!!!!!!!
One of my friends lost her horse to a traffic accident about a month ago. The driver said he 'couldn't see because of the sun' but still managed to hit the horse at 40mph. If you apparently can't bloody see, why drive so fast!!
RIP to everyone involved - an accident that could have easily been avoided

Horrendous. Totally appalling and tragic. My previous horse and I were hit by a car. So frightening, could have been worse. The driver got off. My heart goes out to those involved.

Sadly it the reason I will never hack on the roads again, my horse is a saint in traffic but still will not risk it.
RIP both rider and horse and so many wishes for rider recovering, poor rider is going to really go through it !!

It really infuriates me. Road users should be better educated and less ignorant. We ride two abreast on straight roads now so cars HAVE to slow down.

Same here, i think there needs to be a section on animal safety and show how horrible the concequenses can be to shock people to be careful.

RIP to Rider and Horse, this is not far from me at all and truly is scary, when there are drivers who seem to drive around with their eyes closed.
I hope that other rider recovers soon

OMG how absolutely tragic.........I live in Brentwood and used to keep George stabled near where the accident happened and the road there is in a 30mph limit, although a bit further up it becomes 60mph and you have to ride along it to connect with 2 bridlepaths.
I know a few people with their horses stabled close to there, my goodness I hope they are all ok.
Thoughts to all of those involved and their families

Hope your OK benson21. I remember it, just terrible.
It's not enough that so many are killed every year, some drivers just don't have any sense at all. I hope he goes to prison for this.

Just passing through...
Rest in peace lady and horses, be together over the Rainbow Bridge.
I hope the gentleman recovers well.

sadly the roads at the moment are too dangerous to ride on esp the country lanes ,with many drivers having sat nav the rural roads have become rat runs, unless there is a law passed that says if its a B road or less the driver/rider of any wheeled vehicle is automaticly at fault for any accident involving a pedestian or animal... other wise its not worth risking your or your horses life on our busy and dangerous roads...you are very likely to have an accident it's just not worth it....
