A family is "absolutely heartbroken" after their "beautiful" horse had to be put down following a hit-and-run crash today.
It's believed the blue BMW, which collided with Patch on a rural lane, had two young male occupants and sped from the scene of the crash between 11.15am and 11.45am today.
Emily Partridge, whose mother was riding the horse, described the family as "absolutely heartbroken" as Patch later had to be euthanised.
