Irresponsible Dog Owner
133 Answers
On Sunday afternoon I went out riding with a friend. We were having a great time until we encountered a woman with two rat-like yappy little dogs and they were not on leashes. Both horses were spooked by the damn things running around their legs, and my horse threw me
All she could say was "they are only puppies and I want them to get used to horses." I ask you!
I didn't reply to her or speak to her as I was totally winded and she scuttled off before I got my breath back.
Oh, and by the way, I now have a broken pelvis!

Only just come across this thread - you do seem to have some bad luck Mrs O. I hope the old pelvis mends soon and the pain goes away. The dog owner is indeed most irresponsibl e, and should be made to pay for her stupidity. Presumably tomorrow she'll be walking up the motorway with them running loose in order to "get them used to cars". And look out Heathrow, it's...

Our horses are used to dogs but I find the best thing to say in a very loud voice, if you see a person approaching with a dog, is ' Watch out my horse will kick your dog he's done it before'. It usually works. Non horsey people rarely realise horses are not bicycles and the rider can never have 100% control. Maybe you needed to get your strength up after your recent very serious illness and operation, before resuming horse riding. PS -your horse did not throw you, you had an emergency dismount. ;-)
happens I'm afraid Mrs O
when I misfooted and fell over in the street in daylight and no I was not drunk a mother pulled her pram over me...
but at least she hadnt kicked me to the ground in the first place
and if you look at CCTV of Lee Rigby's murder you will see people pulling their shopping or prams by, on the LHS of the picture ....

mrs O - sorry but this is getting silly. IF you had a broken pelvis you would not be able to walk you would be in hospital (maybe you are). Are you seriously saying your friend took both horses home and left you alone in a country lane with a broken pelvis to get her husband? Did you not have mobile phones to call an ambulance? Seriously?
Whitby has mobile signals off the main street -its not the moon.....There are procedures to follow concerning accidents with horses and no one leaves a patient with a potentially very serious fracture alone on a country lane while they take two horses home. I'm reflecting on the OP's previous Question and taking leave of this thread.
