DOG owners are being reminded to keep their animals under control after a horse rider reported being chased and attacked on Cleeve Hill near Cheltenham.
The incident happened on a bridle path between Cleeve Hill Golf Club and Postlip Hall at about 9.20am on Thursday April 16.
A woman was walking with two dogs on the hill when one of them raced towards the rider and kept snapping at the horse's hoofs.
Although the owner was said to be very apologetic, the rider has told police that he felt the dog was out of control and that it was just one of many incidents of its kinds on Cleeve Hill.
Police are warning that an owner of any dog which worries livestock, including horses, may be committing a criminal offence.
