00:00 Hi, my name is Shannon Taylor. This is my horse, Plodge.
00:05 My best mate, aren't you?
00:07 I've recently been in the act of doing revolving pit bikes, I think.
00:12 Riding just around the bridle, where it's minding her own business, usual Sunday afternoon.
00:17 And someone's decided to intentionally come at me and my horse.
00:23 Got to speak, didn't you?
00:25 I've come off and hit a fence and they've run me on the floor,
00:28 whilst my horse has gone bolting towards the main road.
00:32 Hopefully people in the area help me and recover my horse
00:37 and help me ring the ambulance and the stuff.
00:41 But I just want to raise awareness that things are obviously being a lot worse for me and my horse.
