Slow Down For My Horse Campaign

03/10/2021

Would like to introduce my new pony Rose, she’s 7 years old, Connemara, from Cornwall ❤️

She’s been a star so far and so excited to see where we go.

And I’m finally back out hacking again!

A 34-year-old woman has been charged in connection with a road crash which led to the death of a horse in West Lothian.

The incident happened around 5.15pm on Thursday, 16 September on an unclassified rural road to Armadale from the B8028 at Avonbridge.

The horse was euthanized after the incident. No people were injured.

A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal in due course.

An online video shows a near-miss in which brakes can be heard screeching before a car mounts the verge on the wrong side of the road as it passes a horse

The horse and rider were lucky to escape without serious injury after falling on the road in Epsom

My first solo hack (with no horse or no one walking beside me) for over 2 years since my bad fall!

We had a hedge cutter up our arse and a big white lorry speed past us and he didn’t do anything! So nice to be back out on the grey beast!

‘We had the idea to set something up for those keyworkers that will need some support after all of this is over’

I’ve seen so many “shaming” posts about people continuing to ride their horses during lockdown (I have been victim to one horrible post) it is bullying, there is no need for hate or pure nastiness at the moment. The law hasn’t stopped us from enjoying our horses.

Just remember you don’t know if that’s the only thing that’s keeping them sane at the moment.

When your spending hours in PPE it’s mentally and physically draining. Not knowing if your going to catch covid-19 or bring it back to your family.

Us mental health workers not only worry about covid-19 we also have a risk of being assualted, spat at, verbally abused. All can lead into restraining people, so “distancing” ourselves doesn’t work in our line of work so we have a high risk of catching this illness.

We are trying to relieve people’s anxiety and stresses while we are also stressed. That is so mentally hard.

Just remember we are all going through a hard time and we all have different coping mechanisms. If you’ve decided your not riding while lockdown is in, then good for you! If you decide to continue to ride then good for you too!

Be kind. People’s mental health is just as important as physical health.

I know my boys are the only thing keeping me sane and happy at the moment with all stresses in the world right now.
