TBH I think most people would have reacted the way you did. You were in a lot of pain and had it happened another time another place your horse could've been in serious danger. Someone turned on a strimmer next to a horse I used to know and the horse ditched the rider and galloped off in the direction of a main road. It was sheer luck she was caught before she reached the road by another livery driving to the yard.
I just wish people would exercise some logic-surely even the most uneducated person would realise turning on a power tool right next to an animal isn't the best idea. So pleased the horse and rider were okay.
