A RIDER escaped with only a broken wrist after being trapped under a shire horse when it fell on her.
Sarah Bennett was riding the shire horse at Aunby last Saturday afternoon when it tripped on rough ground and fell on top of her.
She was trapped for around 20 minutes before the horse managed to free itself and wander back to its stables.

Both the local and national press are reporting the tragic death, at the pond in Holywell, of a woman in her 70’s, from Castle Bytham, and her 6 year old grandson, who had been visiting her.
Police were called to the area after the woman’s daughter reported them missing yesterday evening at around 9.20pm. Following a search the woman’s car was found in Holywell and, at around 10.45pm, the body of the woman was found floating in the pond.
A subsequent search, which involved the Fire and Rescue service and RAF search and rescue helicopters (whose presence was apparent in the area during the early hours of the morning) found the submerged body of her grandson at around 4.00am today (Friday 17 February).

From Chris Holmes …
It was a bitterly cold evening – the sort where you really want to stay home by the fire, but it was quiz night at the Willoughby was anyone going to turn up? Oh yes! We had six teams including a new one Will Gillman came along with Andrew Woodward to be joined a bit later by a third team member.
Some different rounds to normal, Cockney Rhyming Slang, Valentines and Farming! The picture round went down very well ‘Famous Jacks’ we had a mixture from Jack Russell (yes the dog), Jack Sparrow and Captain Jack Harkness to Jack Palance, Jack Nicholson and Jack Daniels.
The music round had the usual groans, as it’s February a Valentine theme, all top ten hits with two from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s which more or less catered for every age group.
At the end of the evening the scores were very close indeed and we had a draw for first place with between Pork Scratchings (last month’s winners) and United Staits both with 143 points. Winners decided with a cut of the cards, ace low, king high. The United Staits won with a Jack!
