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..

    • I’ve told the council (twice), our Dulwich Hill councillor, and Thames Water (twice).
    • How can a supermarket "run out of gas"? Was that a joke? The Metro article is referring to the central gas supply, surely? Which hasn't actually run out yet.   I said "local" press. And the reason would be that the bad publicity might push Sainsbury's head office to improve what sound like presently appalling conditions for their DKH staff to work in. Yes of course there are terrible things happening all over the world. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to change things which we might be able to have an immediate impact on locally.
    • What good would it do reporting it to the press? If one thinks it is a major issue, just for a moment, think about the hardship in cities in Ukraine where residents  are lucky to get one hour of electricity a day and where water is not being pumped to residential blocks.
