Lancashire rider Charlotte Mulvey, 24, was leading her six-yearold rescue horse, World Horse Welfare Blu-Boi, down a quiet lane accompanied by a friend and her horse. A driver approached them at speed, ignoring Charlotte’s requests that he slow down, colliding with both women’s legs as he passed and pushing them into their horses.
Charlotte says the driver fled the scene at speed, leaving both horses and their handlers very shaken up.
