I want to send some prayers out to a fellow equestrian and friend. She was hosting a cancer benefit ride tonight. While riding down the road a drunk driver, and someone she knows, hit her and her horse. She is ok and in the hospital but her horse died. I don't know details as this just happened tonight.

So sorry to hear this. This is the reason I don't ride down the roads anymore, but we are very limited with trails in our area.

Hoping for a speedy recovery to the rider and Godspeed Oak.

Unbelievably horrible. I hope the drunk gets the book thrown at him. My heart goes out to your friend. This is something that will probably be with her for a long time.

I am glad she is ok. So sorry for her loss Many jingles that she can get through this rough period.

Oh my, how tragic I'm glad she is okay, Godspeed Oak.

I hope your drink drive penalties are harsh and may the driver feel the full force of the law. Being someone she knows seems to make it so much worse.

[BuddyRoo]

That is horrible. I'm so glad she is stable. So sorry about the horse.

just looked and it is in today's (Sunday's) paper already that he is in jail. The article says 2 woman, but the other person that was injured has a man's name. Not sure who the other person is. http://www.thetimesherald.com/articl...nclick_check=1

[Bluey]

That is terrible.

I hope she will recover soon and well.

Sending thoughts prayers and jingles for her recovery, and for the loss of her horse. Nothing I hate more than drunk drivers, my brother was killed by one. One of the stupidest things a person can decide to do. I hope he faces a VERY stiff sentence.

So sorry to read this. How absolutely horrible! I hope she recovers quickly, and that the stupid drunk driver gets the proverbial book thrown at them!! So very sad!

[suz]

So sad, what a needless tragedy.i'm glad your friend is stable--does she know about her horse yet?
i cant say what i would do to someone if tundra was hurt do to their stupidity or carelessness. i would probably get in trouble for assault if i was face to face with them.

Jingles for your friend, and godspeed to her horse.

So tragic and I also hope friend will recover and drunk river never will drive again.

[Laurierace]

What a senseless tragedy. Godspeed.

[Derby Lyn Farms]

Thank you for all the nice thoughts. She does know about her horse, she was with him as he passed.
