Yorkshire
Evening Post, 21 February 1914: TRAP HORSE TAKES FRIGHT AT A TRACTION ENGINE. BRAMHAM MOOR
INCIDENT. An exciting incident occurred the meet of the Bramham Moor hounds at Wighill yesterday. A second fox had been found in Wighill Ings, and horsemen were galloping down the road
from Wighill church into the village, which was
filled with motor cars and a traction engine, when in excitement a horse in
a trap took fright at the traction engine and bolted. It collided with
the buggy driven by Miss Smith, daughter of Mr Tom Smith, the ex Huntsman, and in which were also seated Mrs Busby, wife
of the vicar of Walton, Boston Spa, and another lady. This trap then
collided with a trap driven by Mr Charles Farndale, licenced victualler, of
Bilborough, with the result that the occupants of both vehicles were thrown
into the road. Mr Smith's horse jumped clear of the trap, but Mr Farndale's
horse fell. Several lady cyclists had narrow and narrow escapes, the
runaway horse just missing them. No one was seriously injured.
Leeds
Mercury, 21 February 1914: BRAMHAM HUNT MISHAPS. RUNAWAY HORSES CAUSE EXCITING SCENE IN
VILLAGE. There were remarkable escapes from serious injury at Wighill, yesterday, by occupants of traps and lady cyclists
on the road at the meet of the Bramham Moor Hounds. Hounds had found their
second fox in Wighill, Ings, and horsemen were
galloping down the road from Wighill church into the
village, which was filled with motor cars and a traction engine. In the
excitement a horse in a trap took fright at the traction engine, and bolted. It
collided with a buggy driven by Miss Smith, daughter of Mr. Smith, the ex Huntsman, and in which were also seated Mrs Busby, wife
of the vicar of Walton and another lady. This trap then collided with a trap
driven by Mr Charles Farndale, a well known licenced
victualler, of Bilborough, pulled off the wheel, threw over both traps, and
pitched all the occupants into the road. Mr Smith's horse jumped clear
of the trap, but Mr Farndale's horse was stretched on the ground.
Several lady cyclists in front of in front had narrow escapes, the runaway
horse just missing them. Luckily there was no serious result.
