Paramotors scaring horses

I commented on the other post about this. This is really not as it is presented. Those horses are not well looked after, they churn out badly bred foals year after year, have a relatively nice life in summer but winter they stand in flood water filled with sewage. None of this story adds up if you know the area and the horses. I lived next to Port Meadow for 18months, so know them well.

The paragliders shouldn't have been there, the horses were not visibly panicked and while I don't know what the foal did die of, it wasn't because it ran in terror into the Thames.

Good point.
There is always 2 sides to a story.
 
I'm pretty cross about it as its been deliberately misrepresented and blown up into a huge deal by a couple of people who have influenced non horsey people in authority. They forget the photos shared in a private group showed the paraglider over the herd grazing calmly. Yet the don't care that the whole area is a flood plain on the Thames and for all of the winter its a swampy marsh. but for at least a month often more its all under water that's filled with sewage.
 
Just to add, I moved away a couple of months ago to a totally different county so haven't given my location away, but I am still a member of the private FB group an still visit my friend there fairly often
