Horse bitten by dog at show event (Pit Bull)

A horse has been injured after being attacked by a dog during a show-jumping event in Londonderry.

The horse was being led by a young girl at an event in the council-owned Ballyarnett Park on Sunday.

The horse was bitten on its neck and hind quarters when it was attacked by a Staffordshire bull terrier.

The horse's owner Kelda Morgan said it was a frightening experience: "The dog just came running at the mare, Tessa, and she did her best to get away."

"It was petrifying for everybody at the show, especially for Amy, the girl that was holding Tessa," Ms Morgan said.

The matter will be fully investigated if a complaint is made

Ah, the British.

My favorite quote:

USPCA chief executive Stephen Philpott said the attack should be investigated by the police and the council. "If your property is being attacked you're entitled to call the police," he said

“kill em all.....just go to where the pit bulls live and kill them.”

I’m with you.

Mr. Glock, meet Mr. 10 Gauge Magnum.

That's nothing. I watched a 4 ounce kitten bloody the nose of a 80 lb pit bull and send it cowering under its masters legs.

a Staffordshire bull terrier isn’t a Pit Bull Terrier.
