Must be so scary for you. You've done all the right things in reporting this person. Let's hope karma gets her (and the police) and hope that something really horrible happens to her soon
Hurt, scared and worried

Please - you MUST report it formally- if not for your self and your daughter for other riders in the area. PM boltonrider - I was in a near miss and they had some very good and objective advice, so might be able to help you.
Please, please report it.

Even report it to traffic police? My friend was riding her horse on the road when a man sped past her and hurled abuse at her. Little did he know she was an off-duty policewoman and she caught his regi and reported it
Police turned up at his door and his excuse was that he had 'a stressfull day...' .... hmm

What a horrendous experience for you and for Im Addicted. I second what everyone had said, if you can, please report it formally. I would explain you had a child with you (I don't know how old your daughter is) and that the woman actually pursued you and was verbally abusive as well as physically threatening. It depends on the police force, but whenever I've had trouble of this sort I have always found the police very helpful. One YO (who had serious mental health problems) threatened to kill me when I left her yard and requested she refund livery paid in advance. I reported her and the police visited her. I later got a letter from her solicitors with a cheque so the police visit obviously had the desired effect as it showed I would not take abuse from her in the way she had threatened many others.
Im Addicted - you know who this women is and she sounds a real *****. Could you give her registration to the police now you have it and ask them to have a word - even if informally from community support officers or something?

Just back from viewing LOVELY horse! A two hour drive each way and I'm glad to say my daughter was fine in the car - I was worried because we only started her riding to try to get some control over herself after a dreadful car accident involving her, her father and the drunk who drove into them. Bad driving can cause her panic attacks and I was worried that this morning's little excitement might make her extra sensitive. She's cross with the woman, and a little shaken but not panicky. Which is absolutely great because she's nearly 17 now and will be starting driving herself soon and we are uncertain whether she will be able to cope mentally with being in control when others are putting her in a potentially dangerous situation - that's what the riding was meant to help with!
She's doing a statement for me to take to the police tomorrow - she's got to be in school for an exam and I will speak to them first thing and make a formal complaint.
I can't find any other injuries where the horses were hit by stones - although Flynn is being a bit precious about his foot and lifting it up to be examined! My daughter seems to have escaped most of it and I just have a slight mark and sore patch on my cheek.
I've also spread the word a bit more locally so that other riders are aware that they may need to take avoiding action.
Thanks again to everyone for their kind thoughts and I'm_Addicted I'm so sorry to hear you had to go through that with your horse. I hope he gets over it soon. I have to say that I went to see a pony years ago and he was an utter monster - he'd had everyone who viewed him on the floor and when we saw him he dumped his owner. The only reason he was saved from going for meat was because i saw a Range Rover slide past him and catch him on the quarters with it's wing mirror and he just stepped gently away and was so calm about it. We gave him another chance and he is absolutely fantastic in traffic. Well we think he's a superstar generally but not many would agree with us!

Ye Gods, this woman must be found. Echo all the advice here re proper reporting of this terrible incident. This maniac woman could well do this again, if not to you, then to someone else with a horse and the outcome might not be so lucky. Follow this up. Let us know how you get on.

OMG
This is horrendous!
How stupid and reckless can one person be??
Dunno about her being a sandwich short of a picnic - more like missing the whole loaf
So glad you are going to report it. Please let us know what the police have to say about it

LOL! Me??? - not what some would say on here!!
If you don't get anywhere when it's reported....feel free to pm me and I'll show you how to force the "system" into action.
Really you should get a vet report if you want to pursue the matter..... and I would suggest you ask your insurance company to make a note of the incident but tell them you are not making a claim at the present time.
At the end of the day... you were effectively involved in a injury rtc, albeit the horse who sustained injury.
If this were pursued in certain forces....the offence would be shown "with intent". To return for several attempts at causing injury or fear..... well....think she should appear in front of the courts myself!

Just to say that incident now reported ot he police and incident number obtained. They will "keep an eye out for the car and see if they know it". They say they will ring back . . . . .
We'll see.
Insurance have been informed of what happened and told that there will be no claim but that I want to have the records straight in case of any further action.
