PIC: APEX 05/08/2013 This is the terrifying moment a helpless tot came within inches of tragedy after a runaway horse - which bolted at a hunt meeting - miraculously just missed trampling as it lay on the ground. The dramatic scene was captured on camera as the giant animal threw its rider at the Minehead Harriers event at Dunster Castle, Somerset. Snapper Gilly Davidson witnessed the heart-in-mouth moment as the huge over excited horse went charging into the crowd at the annual event on July 24. She said: "I could see there could be problems when the horse started to go. "It bolted towards the perimeter where the spectators were and threw the rider off. "She went over its head and onto the bonnet of a parked Land Rover. "But then she fell off into a pram with a sleeping tot in next to the car. "The child fell on to the floor while the horse was kicking and rearing just inches away from it. "The hooves were just a matter of inches from it." She added that there were no injuries to either the spectators, the rider or the horse. Although it's understood the owners of the Land Rover may be making a claim against the organisers for damage to the car. This picture shows the young child being knocked over whilst in its push-chair. ** SEE STORY BY APEX NEWS - 01392 823144 ** ---------------------------------------------------- APEX NEWS & PICTURES NEWS DESK: 01392 823144 PICTURE DESK: 01392 823145
