just heard some very sad news :o(

So sorry to read this!

Rest in peace horse.

Everything crossed that the rider is found very, very soon. Not sure I hold out much hope though. Either rider is lying hurt somewhere, or s/he was with the horse when it went in, or s/he saw the horse go in and tried to get it out. Swollen and fast flowing rivers are so dangerous :(

Everything very tightly crossed.
 
Yes, please let us know if anyone hears anything. This is truly tragic! Rip beautiful horse - run free in the clouds. Really hope the rider is found safe. The alternatives don't bare thinking about :(

Was it rapid water? Are the police/rapid water teams/fire out looking still? Doesn't bear thinking about what the horse and rider have been through. Just hope that the rider is alive still.

What time did this happen? (Sorry for all the questions!!):o

Severn is always rapid water. Even in nice weather with little rain I think even the strongest of swimmers would struggle to negotiate it but with all this rain we've been having it's lethal.

RIP poor horse and have every thing crossed for the rider.
 
Such sad news. I have just looked on the BBC Shropshire website and there is nothing about it yet, so hope that, sad as it is, it is just the horse that was lost. Are you North or South of Shrewsbury sophie?
 
Oh goodness! I'm in Bridgnorth which is downstream to Ironbridge. Just got back from seeing my mini-herd and had to drive over the Severn to get there and back. Hate to think what may have been passing underneath me at that very moment. How very sad and terrifying :(
 
I haven't heard anything about the rider as yet, my friend who owns the pub is going to speak to the PC who responded to the call last night and see if he knows what happened to the rider. I'll post if I hear anything :(

And we're in east shropshire murphys minder
 
This sent shivers down me.

Thoughts are with everyone involved and praying for the rider, however if he/she is still missing it doesn't look good :(
 
Oh my! Only just read this. Don't dare to think how scared the rider and horse must have been when whatever happened, happened. I do hope she is okay and they find her soon. RIP horse, how tragic :(
