Nadeem Hussain has been jailed for 10 months after he carried out a road rage attack on a horse called Merlin and its rider
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.
Hussain, 31, drove off after the incident in Baxenden, Accrington, Lancashire, but the rider noted his registration number and he was later arrested.
Hussain, of Accrington, admitted dangerous driving and was jailed for ten months at Burnley Crown Court.
Speaking afterwards, Miss Watmough, of Rossendale, Lancashire, said she was delighted with the sentence and urged drivers to show more respect to riders.
She said: ‘It’s just brilliant, when I got the news I couldn’t believe it. I never expected him to go to prison for that length of time.
University student Charlotte Whatmore was left traumatised, with a sore arm, shoulders and neck, caused by the force with which she had to hold on to the horse after the confrontation in Baxenden, Lancashire
‘It will hopefully give him time to think about what he did.’
The student, who is due to begin a course in primary school teaching, added: ‘Because Merlin was rearing up, I just hung on trying to control him.
‘I was screaming at the top of my voice, I thought I was going to fall off and get run over or be squashed by Merlin. I could have been paralysed. It was just so random, it wasn’t provoked, I’m always polite.
‘I couldn’t sleep for a week afterwards, I just kept waking up crying.’
Defending, Martin Hackett, said Hussain accepted there had been an ‘altercation’ but denied getting out of his vehicle or reversing into the horse. He claimed Miss Watmough had hit him with her ‘riding stick’.
Judge Beverley Lunt told him he had intended to frighten the horse and rider and his actions could have had very serious consequences.
She continued: ‘You behaved like a bully. You used your vehicle to intimidate and threaten. That’s like using it as a weapon.
‘People who lose their temper and use their cars to threaten and intimidate, and where they cause fear and harm, must understand the consequences will be severe.’

Horses were around a long time before cars. This guy should be totally ashamed of himself, total scumbag.
So pleased that the horse and rider are ok 🙂
Report abuse
Could have caused the death of the horse and girl. 10 months (out in a blink) is not enough. Should have faced a charge of attempted murder-or at least Assault with a deadly weapon (the van)!

What a pathetic little man. Not a man of course but a cowardly bully. I just hope that Merlin and Miss Whatmore are able to make a full recovery.

He got what he deserved. The outcome of this incident could have been far more serious. An idiot who should not be behind a wheel.

I have seen this happen on country roads, you need to be a very experienced rider to ride safely as horse will bolt when a thoughtless driver speeds by. I am glad this man has been jailed – a lesson to all drivers.

10 Months it should have been 10 years.

While I don’t condone what the man did.I find personally that horse riders are quick to forget that vehicle drivers pay alot of money to use the roads while they the horse riders pay nothing.

Jailed for 10 months? No FIVE months as he’ll get parole and deserves at least 5 years. Scum…
Report abuse
Another “pyscho-driver” who should never be permitted a driving license, he’s not likely to get a better temper so don’t let him drive if he’s that unstable.
Report abuse
Nice one judge – I hope all the other judges are taking note – a car is a weapon in the wrong hands and it is time this was recognised.
