I am in tears....so sad. R.I.P Holly. Seriously, I am crying right now as I type this. Holly is so beautiful, may your life in heaven be perfect Holly.
But I'm also so ANGRY. Can some people really not be bothered to use up a few seconds of their life keeping a rider and horse alive???? Some people are so cruel, so heartless, so wrapped up in the own self-centered lives they can't stop to spare a thought for gorgeous animals.
Yesterday Blue and I were hit by a car, i was wearing a bright green jacket with reflectors on it in the afternoon ,we were down the street from home. The man was speeding and my last thought was why is he going so fast? He hit us and I flew 30 feet through the air I landed in the middle of the road with a broken pelvis and tailbone he kept driving all I could see were his tail lights as he sped off. Blue stayed next to me while he bled out and I couldnt go to him. RIP Blue I love you big boy.
RIP holly!!! there are many idiot drivers around where i grase my horse. I used to rode ride a lot but i want go out now without someone with me becouse my horse is easly spooked. Spot got spooked so bad once that he nearly jumped onto the other side of the rode where a car was comeing towords us, didnt even stop to see if we were ok. I have also had many experences try to stop my pig headed appy galloping down the rode becouse of a bike, kids on skate boreds yalling at us and cars tooting at us
This actually happened to me once (although not as bad and thankfully not fatal).. but the horse i was on was startled by something and swung her bum out (a tiny bit) and stopped and would not move. this car then came by not even noticing that it couldn't squeeze past her, still carried on driving although luckily it was a 10 mph road and pushed past my horse, the owner of the horse was with me and we cantered after the car until it realised we were after it, and stopped. R.I.P Holly!!! <33
R.I.P Holly!! its silly the amount of accidents that actually happen to us riders that comes unnoticed.. i mean say if a person was on their bike and this happened, it would be all over the news for days !! i swear some drivers are so oblivious to what is going on around them !! xx
Dear Hollys best friend, you should be so proud of your self for being able to set this up! I was hit by a car pulling out of a petrol station in broad daylight while wearing hi-viz and he just drove of and left us, lucky my horse was ok but i could not think about it for month with out breaking down!!
Holly will be so proud of you up in rainbow bridge xxxx
!!!!!!!!! KILL YOUR SPEED.. NOT MY HORSE !!!!!!! (or maybe a child or adult sat upon!)
@XzeroX99 ... you need putting down!! HORSES have right of way on the road, go read your highway code, roads are NOT reserved for anything, because of ROADS many of our bridle ways have been closed of and turned into roads or bike paths, i am i driver and it has never killed me loosing 30sec's of my times to slowly pass a horse or to let them cross infront of me, if i ever met you i'd personally run you of the road my self!!
errr i ride in the street cuz my horse hated the area and we were passing a farm next to a busy street and a pig startled her and she jumped right infront of a speeding car and the car stopped just about hitting her!!!!
A couple of horses have died on our neighbouring yard from cars hitting them, it is more common than you think. I think if someone hit my horse, accident or not, i would beat the S*** out of them!
So sorry about Holly. How traumatic. With fewer places to ride these days some of us are forced to ride on the roads from time to time. It infuriates me when someone doesn't slow down at all when they see you. My horse is traffic safe but when someone speeds past you oncoming at 45 it can make any horse do an about face. People have no consideration for others.
I know what happens here my stable is not far from five arches ( a huge park) and this girl from anothor yard was riding down to go to five arches she had to cross 2 very very busy roads. she crosssed the first on but the second one her horses spooked and a lorry hit it. they called the vet as soon as it happend. the girl was okay but was in hospital and the was shot. I will never ever rider my 20 year old pony Spike on the road. I will just never do it.
OMG this is so bad why would anybody do this it is great you started this campain and i will try to spread the word as much as i can hope this help i wish you all the best xxx
i hate cars someone was speeding and ran two of my kittens over KILL YOUR SPEED NOT MY ANIMALS if anyone see's this comment who may think they drive a bit fast get this through ur head what if that was ur horse i will go round with a clipboard asking people to join KILL YOUR SPEED NOT MY HORSE i hope this will help tracy and holly xxxxxxxxxx
i knew a horse that got hit by a car ages ago and i still miss him :'( RIP fellow and RIP holly i was crying my eyes out luckaly i type without looking th o:'(
Watching these video's make me feel awful :'( Drivers should learn to drive slowley past rider's on their horses, As horses can get easiley spooked. Thats why I recommend when out hacking with your friends or on your own, REMEMBER to atleast were a HI-VIZ JACKET or a HI-VIZ COAT to go on your horse. BE SEEN, BE SAFE, BE SENSIBLE.
The other day a load of tractors went past me and my horse and she took off with fright in the other direction. Why won't some drives just understand the fear in horses and how scared they get. they need to just stop and turn of their engines if the horse is that scared.....
@ih8animalabusers666 They mean go crash into something. You're entitled to your point, but do you really think it's fair to comment on this video in particular? I have a car, and I also have a horse, and I pay for both. I can honestly say that the governement agencies probably gain more revenue from what I pay for my horse than from my car. Cars, cyclists, horse riders, walkers, dog-walkers are all entitled to be on most of the roads, why do you have such a problem with that? RIP Holly x
@ih8animalabusers666 i read you profile about you and you said"animal abusers are vile and should be removed from the planet as soon as possible" I don't think I believe that after what you have just said!
IF YOU F***ING DRIVER ARE WATCHING THEN USE UR F***ING MIND AND STOP DRIVING! YOU TOTAL F***ING F*** F*** F*** BULLS*** BEAST! YOU KILLED NO DOUBT A LOVELY PONY!
Anyway. im really sorry about this. may her soul live on. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
@ih8animalabusers666 I can understand your annoyance as they're slow, but at least they're not destroying the planet, therefore ruining future people lives by living in a ruined world. At least cyclists and horse riders are out exercising rather then sitting at home getting obese and claiming benefits. T
his is not intended to be rude, or aimed at you, just society in general and at peoples impatience for riders and cyclists. However I respect your opinion as I see I will not change your mind.
omg i feel the same way as you i was hit by a car when on my horse bambina and she was dead almost instantly i was sop devastated she was my first ever horse (i had ponies ) you feel like your whole world has collapsed in those few seconds the car didn't stop but luckily i only had a broken arm R.I.P bambina always in my heart xxxxx
I am always complaining about the roads to my mum and dad, how fast they go and that there is no speed limit on my small road! I once had someone swearing and shouting rude comments at me because i was slow. this was partly because my pony had bucked me off for no real reason! i have a sticker on my mums car to tell them to slow when going past horses, and wear reflective jackets when riding.
omg i am actually crying ;( R.I.P holly!<3 i totally agree why cant people just stop for a few second or minutes ,what would they rather do stop for a few seconds or kill a gawjuss animal? its just horrible!....
ths makes me want to cry its so sad some people have no idea about horses i feel sorry for u and ure horse cause when u lose ure horse ure also loosing ure best friend
were i live there was a rider with her horse and he was on quiet roads but then her horse must have got spooked and it bolted down in the the village were there is very busy roads! and well cars were stoppping to let the horse pass as the rider was screaming for them to stop, she had run her friend asking him to stop cars on the main road and he managed to stop them, appart from a bus, he ignorred his signals and ran straight in to the horse, im glad you are making this campaign, good luck!!!!!!
My route to work goes through a village that has a busy livery yard. I always drive slow around the narrow country lanes on my route to work as I often come across riders. I was shocked to see one girl out riding on a foggy day - riding one leading another - with no high vis gear on. Unfortunately, the route I take is a rat run and other drivers aren't as careful and I often have other drivers up by backside as I drive slow through the village. Accident waiting to happen.
it just goes to show what idiots are let behind the wheel these days! i know of i ever lost my horse i would find it increadably hard to go on living. i love this campagne. keep up the good work :)
Heart breaking. Poor Holly and poor Tracey. I can't even imagine how painful that must've been for you. To add a light note I used to know a horse that would kick cars if they got too close. But unfortunately people still go ridiculously fast and these people need to be hit by cars and see how it feels to them
same thinh happened to me beginning of this year, luckily my pony got up but he ran in to a telegraph pole as soon as he got up cause he was frigtened.. He was soo still for so long i actually thought i lost him :( luckily he waas fine and hes now been sold & away jumping.. But he is scared of cars now & probally will be for a wile :(
awwwwwwww. I nearly cried wathcing this. Soooooooooo very very very sad. Note to motorists: HORSES OR NONE ON THE ROADS, DO NOT SPEED! ITS EITHER BEING LATE OR KILLING SOMEONE. THE CHOICE IS OBVIOUS!
I know how stupid people can be. my great friend and favorite horse was killed by a driver that was not stoping I never rode on a road agin wich is sad cause that was my favorite thing to do I fell really bad for you So so so so sorry
Great message, I'm trying to do the same thing through facebook.. If you are on it please join "Horses Rights On The Road" and share your story and web site.
Thank you for sharing your story even thought it must be very difficult...
some drivers are so inconsiderate.....i mean; why do they go down for murdering a perosn but not a horse....poor horse Dx RIP Holly ♥ Your horse is your best friend, & to have your best friend killed is just.... :'( Im so sorry for you...x
this made me cry so much. i know how it feels to lose the thing that means the most to you in the world. if that driver could have only gone a little slower, been more aware, then Holly might still be here which is the worst thing ever. im so sorry :( xx
I'm not being funny but alot of riders on the road do not wear safety gear, its issential! Not all car drivers can be blamed, sometimes its a meer mistake. I've also seen riders with nothing on, except a flurocent yellow bit of tape round the horses tail on a foggy day that was spooking at everything, that's putting yourself, your horse and a driver in danger, its not all car drviers faults, but this is a horrible story :'( I'm so sorry! Im not going against this btw, i agree! xx
soo sad, today i went on a trail ride and my horse reared up, and spazzed in the middle of the road, but im so glad the women in her truck stopped and went to the side of the road and gave us sum space :)
There's this book I read, Night Court (Fiction of course, and in a collection of ghost stories no less.) Long story short, it's about ghost of people who have been murdered because someone was in a hurry. They all want to know what was so important that the person killed them to get there. I can't help but think of that story every time I hear of someone (animal or human) getting hit because someone was speeding.
My heart goes out to anyone who has lost a loved one, especially in such a way.
I am so sorry, I know exactly how it feels, my pony, Casper was killed in a road accident too, I miss him so much, so I would like to say that I am with you 100% with this campaign
I have been riding for 25 years now and have not once gone out on a hack not wearing high vis clothing, it's a must for all riders, even on bright sunny days like this girl and holly were. I have your stickers on my car and I bought extra ones and gave them to everyone at my livery yard! I'm so sorry for your loss sweet xxx
aww this is so sad.. im so sorry. thatd be so hard to go through. im glad the lady made it.
Im on the road all the time to get to the trails or the feild and cars go by all the time speeding and they honk or get really close to the horse. people need to no better
I bought one of these t-shirts from ebay! awfull story, Im also extrememly sorry for your loss and i cannot even imagine the pain you must have gone through! you did the right thing by doing this campain! i hope thing have worked out for you now =( xxxx
just over a year me and my pony went out hacking. SHe is very easily spooked, so when a motorbike passed she flipped. IN the drivers defence- he wasnt speeding or anything my pony is just very sensative. She span round to tank home and in the process slipped over, crashing to the flor sending me flying. She scrambled up and galloped home leaving me confused. Thankfully she was unhurt, and i was left with a couple of deep grazes.
What happened to the reckless driver?I hope he didn't get away with it! I mean, even if he doesn't give a shit about people and horses,why crush his car?I can't even conceive his erratic way of thinking. Please stay away from the roads, that';s the best way to ensure no asshole is going to put you in danger.
It is'nt always the car drivers fault; the yard next door just lost a horse- he was'nt very well schooled and his owner did'nt really allow him to trust her- the horse bolted- crashed into a car occupied by an elderly couple- the car tore one of the horses legs off-the vet had to shoot him and the old couple were traumatised. I've never had a problem with car drivers [except for B.M.W drivers]- Had a gang of Hells Angels slow and crawl past me on their Harleys the other day!
I know, accidents happen and even horse loving people could be involved. A kitten once rushed under my car while I was driving. I didn't kill it, it survived but I felt so sorry for it. As for the BMW drivers, I will totally agree with you! !!!
some drivers are just so stupid, even where I ride in the quiet country lanes there are idiots who go way to fast when they know there are riders around all the time.
Im sorry for the loss of your mare....i was in a similar situation the other week...i was wearing hi viz clothing and 2 harley davidson motorbikes came right up behind my mare obviously then spooking her and leading to us being in the middle of a busy road.making things even worse a milk tanker came in the opposite direction i flagged him down and yet he didnt stop or attept to slow down..thank god there was an open gate way by the side of me so i took my horse in there...Some idiots dont think!
I am so sorry. This must have been awful for you =(
Some people are so inconsiderate. When I ride on the roads there are often people that toot and speed past on purpose. It's like they don't stop and think that they are actually putting the life of you and/or your horse at risk.
Hello thats such a sad story im so sorry for your loss my horse is my world and i could not imagine what i would do without her, the girls at my yard sometimes laugh at me because i have so much hi viz gear they cant see the danger they say its sunny we dont need any and it does not look good i wish they would wise up before its to late xx
I had a horse hit by a car on the road and killed, as a result I will not put my new horse in the same possition and I rarely ever ever ride on the road. It wont happen again. Drivers will never learn to respect horses on the road. I wish they would! I am just so lucky that I have a yard with off road riding!
Ive almost been hit by cars while I was riding before, I always flip off the drivers and yell at them (thank god my horses at calm, well most of them). Most of the time I stop my horses and I never ride in the middle of the rode like my friends do. Thank you for spreading the word, it needs to be done.
I almost got hit by a car a couple of times.. i had hi-viz on but they dont care, some are really plesent then there are those who dont give a S**t and it is so dangerous!! i will add this to my favs to make ppl watch it thanks xx
omg i would fucking kill that driver .. giv him a piece of my mind and make him pay for a new horse (although im sure it would never replace ur beloved horse )
I have had someone nearly crash into me because they were too busy looking in the mirror than where they were going, i had to pull my horse sharply into the side and she swerved - i nearly fainted as she wasnt looking where she was going! x
I have a pony and it was our first time on the roads and she was going mental, so my 2 friends were doing traffic control infront and behind me, and an idiot came round the corner,and my friend shouted for hi mto slow down and he stuck his two fingers up and revved his engine past us. She was pratically rearing up.
thats horrible how could somebody do that!!!! were they evn sry???? r u pressing anything on him?? that would make me like... im really sry that u lost holly!!!! i hope everyone else was safe
Well done, you're doing a great job and I'm sorry for her loss, it must have been an awful thing to go through =(
I'm lucky to live on quiet country lanes, n the only cars I see r locals & they r very good with the horses (Mostly young ones because I do breakin & trainin) I didn't always wear reflective clothin, mostly bcuz I 4got or it was jst a hassle, bt after watchin this I realize nething can happen and It's better to be safe than sorry. I'll wear reflective gear in future
there are some fucking idiots on the roads, in the last 2 years, I lost 2 of my friends on the roads, at exactly the same place a year apart from each other
It seems that if someone is driving a gold car through my village, they have no respect for anyone.
30 people have died on the road on which i loast 2 friends in the last year, the drivers are, so far, doing fuck all as far as i can tell.
i will put the message on AVH. millions of people are on a day i will ask for it to be spread.

My route to work goes through a village that has a busy livery yard. I always drive slow around the narrow country lanes on my route to work as I often come across riders. I was shocked to see one girl out riding on a foggy day - riding one leading another - with no high vis gear on. Unfortunately, the route I take is a rat run and other drivers aren't as careful and I often have other drivers up by backside as I drive slow through the village. Accident waiting to happen.

Heart breaking. Poor Holly and poor Tracey. I can't even imagine how painful that must've been for you. To add a light note I used to know a horse that would kick cars if they got too close. But unfortunately people still go ridiculously fast and these people need to be hit by cars and see how it feels to them

I'm not being funny but alot of riders on the road do not wear safety gear, its issential! Not all car drivers can be blamed, sometimes its a meer mistake. I've also seen riders with nothing on, except a flurocent yellow bit of tape round the horses tail on a foggy day that was spooking at everything, that's putting yourself, your horse and a driver in danger, its not all car drviers faults, but this is a horrible story :'( I'm so sorry! Im not going against this btw, i agree! xx

There's this book I read, Night Court (Fiction of course, and in a collection of ghost stories no less.) Long story short, it's about ghost of people who have been murdered because someone was in a hurry. They all want to know what was so important that the person killed them to get there. I can't help but think of that story every time I hear of someone (animal or human) getting hit because someone was speeding.
My heart goes out to anyone who has lost a loved one, especially in such a way.

This is why I hate riding on the roads.
just over a year me and my pony went out hacking. SHe is very easily spooked, so when a motorbike passed she flipped. IN the drivers defence- he wasnt speeding or anything my pony is just very sensative. She span round to tank home and in the process slipped over, crashing to the flor sending me flying. She scrambled up and galloped home leaving me confused. Thankfully she was unhurt, and i was left with a couple of deep grazes.
RIP HOLLY

What happened to the reckless driver?I hope he didn't get away with it! I mean, even if he doesn't give a shit about people and horses,why crush his car?I can't even conceive his erratic way of thinking. Please stay away from the roads, that';s the best way to ensure no asshole is going to put you in danger.

It is'nt always the car drivers fault; the yard next door just lost a horse- he was'nt very well schooled and his owner did'nt really allow him to trust her- the horse bolted- crashed into a car occupied by an elderly couple- the car tore one of the horses legs off-the vet had to shoot him and the old couple were traumatised. I've never had a problem with car drivers [except for B.M.W drivers]- Had a gang of Hells Angels slow and crawl past me on their Harleys the other day!

I know, accidents happen and even horse loving people could be involved. A kitten once rushed under my car while I was driving. I didn't kill it, it survived but I felt so sorry for it. As for the BMW drivers, I will totally agree with you! !!!

Some people are so inconsiderate. When I ride on the roads there are often people that toot and speed past on purpose. It's like they don't stop and think that they are actually putting the life of you and/or your horse at risk.

I had a horse hit by a car on the road and killed, as a result I will not put my new horse in the same possition and I rarely ever ever ride on the road. It wont happen again. Drivers will never learn to respect horses on the road. I wish they would! I am just so lucky that I have a yard with off road riding!

Ive almost been hit by cars while I was riding before, I always flip off the drivers and yell at them (thank god my horses at calm, well most of them). Most of the time I stop my horses and I never ride in the middle of the rode like my friends do. Thank you for spreading the word, it needs to be done.

I'm lucky to live on quiet country lanes, n the only cars I see r locals & they r very good with the horses (Mostly young ones because I do breakin & trainin) I didn't always wear reflective clothin, mostly bcuz I 4got or it was jst a hassle, bt after watchin this I realize nething can happen and It's better to be safe than sorry. I'll wear reflective gear in future

there are some fucking idiots on the roads, in the last 2 years, I lost 2 of my friends on the roads, at exactly the same place a year apart from each other
It seems that if someone is driving a gold car through my village, they have no respect for anyone.
30 people have died on the road on which i loast 2 friends in the last year, the drivers are, so far, doing fuck all as far as i can tell.
