It was a thing of beauty seeing the police horses belt round the park but they stopped long before the cavalry moved out of Dulwich nick. No one died but I suspect the dreaded Health and Safety or some filthy insurance company put paid to that spectacle.


The riding stable nags are only allowed to stroll and then only when the kiddies have gone to bed.

I used to ride round dulwich park when the riding school had no indoor school, and also round the south circular road. Would,nt do that now as would be flattened...it,s such a shame there are not many horses using the park anymore but I would,nt ride my horse there now as there are too many bikers, runners, dogs,etc..
I ride at Dulwich Riding Stables. (Nags they are not.) Anyway, I asked today about this and they said that the reason they rarely go in the park is because people's dogs go for the horses and one horse in particular got bitten a great deal. So I am afraid it is down to people who can not / will not control their dogs. So now you know.
This is such a shame because horses and dogs do get on but if the dogs don't know or see horses very often dogs do tend to chase...I have my horses in Keston and ride out regularly with my dogs running behind with no problem..it's a perfect way to excerise dogs...but they do have to be trained to be around horses..

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
