On Saturday morning (December 31), around 10.30am, a number of horses were being exercised on the beach when a black-and-white English bull terrier chased and jumped up at two of the animals. It then focused its attention on two other horses, jumping up and trying to bite both horses and riders.

A grey horse was bitten on its right shoulder, resulting in a wound that required hospital treatment.

Police would like to speak to the owner who is described as white, dark-haired, wearing a red coat, yellow scarf, blue jeans and wellingtons. It is thought that he was accompanied by a woman.

Anyone with information about the incident or those involved is asked to report online here quoting serial 426 of 31/12.
