.... A game keeper as well, on 30 mph speed limit on a country road.

Drove into back of my best friend when she was on her horse, horse had to be put down & she's in theatre with a broken back.

He was beautiful, he was her world, I loved him.

Poor woman and poor horse.

I hope she's going to be ok.

Bloody stupid man. I see it all the time, idiots driving far too fast on narrow winding country lanes and then slamming on the emergency brakes when they go round a corner and there's a horse, or a cyclist, or a tractor.

How stupid do you have to be to not understand what may be round a blind bend on a country road Hmm

when is she expected to be out of theatre?

So sorry to hear that & hope your friend recovers.
How the fuck do you not see a horse in front of you????
Is he being done for driving like a knob?

Poor horse. What was he thinking???? I've all but stopped riding my horses down the road. My mum lost her best friend when they were both 16 riding down a quiet country lane. A drunk driver killed her outright. He was doctor and didn't get a custodial sentence.

I hope your friend will be ok, she will need a good friend like you to support her.

Sentencing is far too lenient with regards to dangerous/reckless driving IMO.

I do hope there are no lasting lifelong repercussions because of your friends broken back. I wish her speedy recovery.

Angry what a cunt.

Hope your friend is ok. So sad about the horse, I have a friend with horses and they take up such a special place in her heart, they're like her children. I hope he gets brought to justice and your friend recovers.

On god I'm so sorry . I've had some very very near misses , even though go I and all of my horses go out with a full set of hi vi. - jackets , tail guards , fluorescent mesh sheets , leg guards , even my back protector has hi viz on it .

And I've still had several near misses , including one who hit my stirrup and ripped it clean from my foot . People just don't see horses on the road . Or if they do , they either see them but don't take any account of them , or expect to be able to whizz past them with no safety margin and no consequences . It's not like we go on the roads for the love of it .

Please send my most heartfelt wishes to your friend and wish her the best for her recovery . I know how she feels losing a horse in tragic circumstances and I wouldn't wish it on anyone .
