A horse was hit by a car early this morning and fatally wounded. The rider was taken to hospital and later discharged. In a village nr Weston Super Mare.
My sympathy goes to the rider and everyone involved in this sad and horrific accident.
Please everyone riders and drivers alike remember to becareful with the onset of low winter sun and blind spots.
Ensure that you wear reflective clothing especially now winter is coming and take the usual precautions.

How awful. Poor horse and poor rider. I do hope she recovers emotionally as well as physically.

Following on from this dreadful day... On October 10th there is going to be a walk and Ride along the Banwell Road starting at the Walnut tree Pub via Hutton village ending at Elborough Village in memory of Fran's horse Chaz who was killed. There is also a petition on Facebook called 'Kill your speed not my horse' to try and get people and council awareness and support to get signs instated and speed limits changed. if you wish to take a look. I am sure that anybody who is in the area and would like to support the cause would be welcome.

I intend to do the walk on October 10th.
I used to ride along that road and know how dangerous it is.
Hopefully some good will come out of this terrible incident.

There was a great turn out today on the walk (lovely to see you Cetan) of about 145 people, children, dogs and horses also present! Signs have started to be installed warning drivers of horses and riders, easier off road access is being looked into for horse riders locally and the day raised awareness generally. As well as bringing the general community together. If you would like to know more or add your support please look up 'Fran Parkinson' on Facebook. and see the compaign going on it really will make a difference in our area..... and subsequently others..
I have to say i was proud to do the walk with so many people that are determined to make a powerful effort to make a difference and support positive change rather than be apathethic and do nothing in the face of adversity!
