On this day we were walking the ponies back and could see a large truck coming behind us (from the North).  It wasn't slowing down. My daughter said “it’s not slowing down” and was panicking, so I tried to take her pony as well and run both of them into a nearby driveway to get out of the way.  But both ponies were panicking by this stage.  I got twisted in the ropes as the first truck went past us at 100km and fell over. The ponies bolted.  Unfortunately there was a second truck from the same trucking company following close behind and as Rosie tried to bolt home, she crossed the road and got hit by the second truck and flung in the air.  She didn't die immediately, rather it took 20-mins whilst I sat with her and tried not to think of how my 10-year daughter was doing just having seen her pony tossed through the air and killed.
