A driver has been slammed after they were caught on video driving dangerously close to a horse rider at high speed.
Rider Aimee Hussey posted the footage from her helmet cam after the motorist, travelling well over the 40mph speed limit in a red Nissan, past just inches away from her and 20-year-old mount Jak.

Aimee has been riding horses since she was five years old and has show jumped with Jak until he 'retired'.
"Now I just hack him around," she said. "Which is lovely for us. When I first bought he was quite nervous, but I've trained him myself so thankfully he's usually
