A horse rider has demanded pet owners keep their animals under control, after being chased by a yapping dog on a beach for up to 10 minutes. The incident occurred on a beach in Wales when Adrian Geurtjens and his part-Shire horse, Max, went out for a walk.
They were chased for 10 minutes despite wading into the sea to escape the yapping dog on the beach in Anglesey. Mr Geurtjens later shared a video of the encounter and a photo showing an injury suffered by Max.
He also shared the footage with the police after making a note of the number plate of the dog owner. Calling for automatic fines in such cases, he said the “scary” incident had made him – and his horse – warier of dogs.
