Horse slashed in anti-English attack on proposed Welsh riding school

[ridingsafely]

"A CARDIFF couple who moved to West Wales to set up a riding school had one of their horses attacked – after they were mistaken for being English.

As well as the attack on their horse, anti-English graffiti was sprayed on their stables.

The couple believe the attack was carried out by people who mistook their Cardiff accents for English ones."

I find it very hard to believe this, I am English and have lived in the same area as this person for the past five years and have never had a problem with Welsh people. Quite the contrary in fact, from the moment we moved in I have found them to be very friendly and helpful.
This particular area of West Wales is very agricultural and very Welsh, I absolutely love living here and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

I agree with you - I was very surprised by this report.

Just watched this on the news

I felt sick. How could someone do something like that? The horrible people who did this give the rest of us welsh a bad name. I can most certainly say we're not all like that

The poor little filly is such a adorable little coloured thing as well.

not that it makes any difference how the horse looks.

that is disgusting, poor horses, i dont understand racism one bit, its attitudes that are problematic not differences of race, i hope karma gets them!

That is sickening. I hope the poor horse recovers. I do know a lot of people particularly the youths around here with a grudge against the english though.

Whether you are racist or not, anti english or not, who the hell thinks raming anything up a little 7 month old horses nose is a good idea?

i just don't understand people. I suppose if you are the type of person that is capable of judging people on what counrty they are from, then you aren't really going to respect anything are you. very sad.

Here is a link to the report in the local paper web page which is the same as the other reports .... slightly more interesting are the comments at the bottom of the page.
