Nasty, but glad he is okay......
CLICK HERE for story.

Wow glad he's ok what the hell was a foal doing there

Talk about "Expect the unexpected"...
Glad to hear he's ok, shame the horse copped it though.

Glad the dudes ok.
Once again irresponsible owners cause grief.

He was unlucky to hit the horse but it could have been a lot worse.

I was riding through Plymbridge to work yesterday ( on my bicycle ) when I came around a corner and found 5 or 6 deer in the road .

Luckily some went left and some right and I went through the middle.

Also had a deer jump out of a hedge by Wrigleys and run along side me when I was on the scooter. I could have reached out and touched it. Luckily it jumped back in the hedge again.

Oh well Horse Chops in the pub this week then

What ever next? Glad he only had a broken leg, pitty about the horse though.

I hope the guy who owned the foal gets a huge fine ... poor animal

At least the biker wasn't too badly hurt ... could've been much worse

Question is, What happens about ins ? He has a broken leg, Cant work, I bet his bike is fecked. It's not his fault, But unless he's fully comp he may get nothing... Except a broken leg and a broken bike.

Sadly that's called "Tough s**t" lol

I think strictly speaking, he could sue the owner for not having the animial properly contained... but it wouldn't be a straight forward case that's for sure.

Even if fully comp the insurance company would probably claim it as "Act of God"

ouch!! glad he is ok, anyone for some horse steaks??

Must ask this to a mate that works in insurance

Reminds me of a storey posted into Fast Bikes mag. Few guys having a bit of a dabble through some B roads, leader went round a blind bend doing 100mph. What he didnt know was that there was a deer crossing. Did'nt get a chance to slow down, and drove through the deer, slicing it in half. He claimed that he didnt fall off, but put his leg through his fairing and got his new ?G3000 blue/white leathers coverd in deer blood.

me and my mum went 2 exeter the coastal way the other day, on the way back im going in 2 a nice little corner with a nice bit of speed 2 find a bloody feasent in the middle of the road, shook me up, thought i was going 2 hit it but i swerved it, thank god

theres a vid of a guy hitting a deer on this site, its supposed 2 b funny but it isnt that funny, well it is a little bit
