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..

    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
