What on earth is going on in the world???? What would make someone want to do something like this? Not sure how she has got burned after staff alerted her to the bucket fizzing and rang the police, perhaps she was looking closely at it while moved it?

Oh my word. words fail me.

That is horrendous.

So with staff on the yard, how did someone dump a packet of caustic soda in the water bucket?

I'm afraid I would want to know more about the woman before I could believe all that story. She didn't knew how heavy a standard black bucket of water was? She managed to splash it in her own face? And why the link between a burglary and this incident, why should the theft of a saddle be related in any way to trying to poison a pony?? Very, very odd.

My thoughts too, it doesn't add up

The bucket doesn't appear to have a handle so maybe she was dragging it or carrying it and it splashed up. The story comes up on my facebook page and looks genuine. I am not sure I would automatically think someone had tampered with the water if I found stuff in it, particularly in a youngster's stable. Poor woman.

I have also managed to completely soak myself carrying a bucket of water despite doing it day in day out for 40+ years :redface3:

I would say water will go all over hands, body and legs and not on face...

If this stuff had been in the bucket for any length of time wouldnt it have burned a hole in the bucket??

No, it wouldn't. Plastic is a good material for caustic containers.

Story and Photos of the women's face on H&H news page, horrid.
