Compare and contrast with the treatment dished out to the cyclists (actually triathletes) who went too close to a horse during one of their races a little while back. Huge media coverage. It's right the cyclists/idiots were castigated...but hold on, a motorist can actually hit a damn horse with a 2 ton lump of metal at speed and....nothing?!!?
HOMES were evacuated after a gas pipe was cracked when a vehicle careered off a Brockenhurst road and ploughed into a hedge.

Load of residents disrupted for a night because a car mysteriously careered off the road all by itself. If there was any action taken against the driver it's not mentioned.
Amazing. A horse gets hit in the rear by the person driving a motor vehicle yet it's the police who wind up looking like a horse's arse…
"Sally-Anne said her nine-year-old 16.1hh Irish sports horse, Girlie, needed emergency surgery, and she was left with bruises and a sprained wrist after the incident."
"The small car hit Girlie on its hindquarters with such force Sally-Anne was knocked into a Hawthorne bush, and the noise caused neighbours to run out to see what had happened."
And no offence was committed?
Does the driver have some special get out of jail free pass?
It sounds to me like the fact that it's going to be sorted out by insurance is now regarded as a clear-up, nothing to see here.
Do they do the same with shoplifters? I mean, retail shops have a certain amount of losses that they recognise will happen and is presumably covered by insurance. Anyway, just putting on my coat with extra large pockets and nipping down my local Aldi for an entirely unrelated reason.

That is some fine riding mate.
how is there no offence? driving without due care and attention, otherwise you'd have been going slowly enough to see the horse....
What surprises me is that there are no comments yet blaming cyclists...
On my village FB group a woman posted a comment calling for people in the village to respect the rights of horsists to ride side by side, and to give plenty of space because they are vulnerable semi wild animals (the horses, not the horsists), etc etc. I knew what was coming, but carried on reading down. Lots of very supportive messages from other villagers about how its terrible that people drive so close to horses, that sort of thing. And then the OP starts off on one about bl00dy cyclists...
That'll be because the horse people aren't perceived as yobs, whereas the MSM consistently paints cyclists as such.
How on earth can no offence have been committed?!
I mean really, if the driver was not anticipating meeting a horse around a bend on that road, then there's no hope for anywhere else...
What has the chestnut horsey done so that it's face needs to be blurred?
The other two are easily identifyable even the young one...
I can't tell you too much about that particular horse, but lets just say that its troubles began when it walked into a bar and was asked "why the long face?"
And it answered that it hadn't been getting its oats.
It's got form - for holding up the traffic.
There is a suggestion of foal play.
Seriously though, driver said they didn't see the horse?! How do cyclists and walkers stand a chance?!
It wasn't contacted for permission to be in the photo so it's face was blurred.
The horse was just born unlucky. Who knew it'd have a face like the Duchess of Cornwall 🤣
Maybe images of certain members of the Royal Family were used when training the AI?
