I'd only met Cindy on Saturday and came home on monday. I live 150 miles away, not sure what to do now as I called my mum a while ago to find out what happened and she was on her way to hospital, she is diabetic and I think watching Cindy die has just hit her. Only problem is if I go down there I may land the punch that the police stopped my mum from doing!:mad:
My 14 year old sister watched her too, and also some people from my step dads caravan site who I would like to thank as they were very helpful and sat with Cindy before my mum got there.
The thing is he can't say he didn't see her, it's a straight road for at least half a mile and Cindy was pretty much smack bang in the middle of the straight bit. He owns a taxi company and also his wife has horses on this road so you would think he'd expect to see them. According to witnesses he was driving faster than the 30 mph speed limit.
I'll keep everyone updated.
 
Well if the Justice system doesn't get him I hope Karma does in a very big way!! The Rider could have been killed too. Just awful.

RIP Cindy.
 
Don't normally post in here but just saw this on H&H website news, I'm really sorry, what an awful "accident" that poor, poor mare :(

Glad to hear rider was ok, that could have been very nasty for him, too.
 
Speechless.......absolutely speechless.
I hope they are going to throw the book at him. That HAS to be attempted murder surely, running someone on a horse down delierately?
I am so sorry for your poor mum.
RIP Cindy.
 
OMG I read about this on local paper website! So sorry for your loss :( I know the area well and I wondered how the heck someone could have hit a horse on that stretch of road. Keep us posted. Sending huge hugs xx
 
How tragic, and if it turns out that it was deliberate, what a despicable thing to do.

As an aside, I am so angry I have tried to register with the paper to put right that cretin that has commented about "shouldn't of (sic) been there and "suicidle" behaviour. He states that the rider wasn't insured for the horse, and yet claims to be a rider.
Made my blood boil!!

So, so sorry for your mum's loss :(
 
Have you reported the post to the police, if it is him they can use it in their evidence against him.
 
Just read the comment on the newspaper website and I too think it looks a bit suspicious. Terrible terrible man, even more so if that is him on the site. R.I.P Cindy, and a speedy recovery to the rider.
 
some of those comments were very strange (on the link) "she wasn't insured" "she couldnt have been in control without a hat or saddle" etc i didnt see it mentioned that she didnt have either? i think your right these do seem defensive, i mean how does a hat or insurance prevent you from being hit by a car? i spose a saddle might but regardless of the riders control there is no excuse to hit a horse and rider on a straight roads that fast! even if the horse lept out if he had been passing wide and slow the horse woulnt have been killed!
 
Definitly something to report.
Was there no hat/saddle etc?
Obviously its silly not to wear a hat - but this accident had nothing to do with that. Also silly not to use a saddle - but again, wouldnt have prevented this at all. Insurance wise, well thats got nothing to do with it.
Hope he gets put away.
 
At the very least it is negligent driving, there is no excuse for running into anything in these circumstances.

What a devastating thing to happen for all concerned, I truly hope that he does not get away with this, but unfortunately, too often people do.
 
words fail me to be quite honest...
Poor rider, no-one should have to witness anything like that.
I really do hope he gets his just-desserts and more besides, absolutely disgusting.
R.I.P poor cindy x
