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..

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
