A white van driver who rammed his vehicle into a horse and rider has been jailed.

A judge branded Nadeem Hussain a bully and said he had used his vehicle as a weapon.

Hussain was driving along a country lane when Charlotte Watmough signalled for him to slow down. Instead, the father of five skidded to a halt and got out of his vehicle.

Words were exchanged before Hussain got back into his van and drove forwards a few feet, past the horse and rider.

He then slammed it into reverse and drove into Miss Watmough’s mount, Merlin, pushing him into a wall.

The animal panicked and reared up, causing the rider to lose her stirrups and have to fight to stay in the saddle.

Merlin, a 12-year-old Anglo Arab, was later seen by a vet, who found he had suffered bruising to his fetlock.

Miss Watmough, 20, who has ridden regularly since she was three, was left traumatised, with a sore arm, shoulders and neck, caused by the force with which she had to hold on to the horse.

  1. His mistake was hurting the horse, he could have gotten off because he is Moslem if he had just hit her.

  2. The Mail would not, of course, publish my comment:
    How dare this female blonde infidel non-person gesticulate to me, a Muslim male, to slow my vehicle down! Then to have the effrontery to argue and talk back to me while maintaining direct eye contact!
    She should be stoned to death, and her horse killed by having it’s throat cut.
