How scary. Glad you weren't hurt. How about the car? You did well to keep your cool until it was over. 

It'll be a shame if they do have to have the horse put down but you can't keep an animal if it becomes a danger to others and it sounds as if this one is.

Cars actually not too badly damaged as I was not going very fast, called last night to ask how the horse was and it had been put down on the Sunday night, when they got the vet it's heart rate was 110 and this had still not gone down by 5 pm so that combined with the fact that it could be dangerous decided its fate. I know both the owner and the vet really well so I know they wouldn't take the decision lightly.
I find that I am just being a bit over cautious at the moment, whilst out today I came upon a group of children on ponies and was terrified passing them in case I spooked a pony but I will get over it I'm sure.

accidents happen.
when we were kids, the head girl at our yard got bucked off a big thoroughbred who galloped off alone around a bridleway, then crossed the major road on a blind bend. he ran straight into a car which was going 60 miles an hour. he was pts and the car was written off. frightened the life out of the 2 elderly people in the car, but there was nothing they could do.
