Driver told young rider she was too fat for her pony in ‘bizarre’ assault

Police are searching for a female motorist who verbally and physically attacked a teenage rider and told her she was “too fat” for the pony she was hacking.

Ruby Prowse, 15, was riding her grandmother’s Dartmoor Billy on a quiet country road near Truro when the woman stopped her car and started shouting at her.

Ruby’s mother Georgia described how the woman “gave her the v-sign” before telling her to get off the pony because she was too big.
