RE - Horse / traffic accidents...

[Vicki_Krystal]

After reading several posts on here regarding traffic accidents with horses, i made up and wrote a status on fb.
My thoughts behind it were that 1/2 of my friends on there are school friends and are not horsey.

Since i posted it, the status has recieved 13 'likes' and, unforseen by me, has been copied and pasted by 6 other friends as their status.

I didnt expect other people to copy it - but by doing so, it means 6 other peoples friend lists will now read it.

The status i wrote was -

*A PLEA TO ALL MY NON HORSEY FRIENDS*
Horses dont dent - they die. A horse coming through your windscreen wont just write off your car - it may very well kill you.
If you drive somewhere where horses are present please SLOW DOWN. It will take you all of 60 seconds to slow down and pass safely without killing horse / rider / yourself.

I thought id pop it on here so as others may use it if they wish.
If it makes just one person from everyones friend list realise and think, surely its got to be worth doing?

There isnt a link as such - just copy and paste into your status bar!

Ive noticed that between mine, and the people that have already copied it, there is nearly 40 'likes' as well as a few comments.

Have posted it on mine. Was actually going to write something similar myself! Hopefully more people will read it and maybe just consider it and slow down!

[welshcobmad]

Already had 1 copy it, 3 likes on hers 2 on mine plus complaint about it being aimed just at the non horsey lol, but as far as I'm concerned thats where most of the problem lies
