Riderless horse in Australia(pronounced 'horse trailer' by some)With interest in riderless horses of late, doves may be interested in the news article below about a riderless horse jumping into a crowd in a rural city called Warrnambool in Victoria, on Australia's south coast - seven people were injured. This made national news in Australia - a common occurrence on race courses, but rarely does a horse jump riderless into a crowd - over a fence designed to prevent this happening.
"Racing officials will review the height of safety fences at the Warrnambool race track after a horror accident yesterday in which a riderless horse leapt into a crowd of spectators. The Warrnambool Racing Club installed the two-metre high brush fence four years ago, believing it would be too high for a runaway horse to clear. However that theory proved wrong yesterday when a horse, Banna Strand, veered off the course after losing its rider and jumped the fence into a tightly packed crowd of between 50 and 100 people gathered on a road at the back of the course" (see link below}.
