As I met them, her dog stopped to greet mine, and suddenly out of nowhere, she hit it over the head with a horse whip!!!!!! then it tried to get its halti off with its 2 paws and she hit it again with the whip to get it to stop it. Then as she walked off, it was infront of her and nearly tripped her, so she turned and hit it down the back with the whip and shouting at it.
I was so horrified that i didnt speak, and now i am kicking myself that i didnt say anything. That poor dog is not only getting hit with a horse whip, but is getting hit for all the stupidest reasons. And if shes trying to get the dog to walk beside her using a halti, and shes whipping it when it is near her and annoying her....im sorry, but would you want to walk beside that????

im so cross with myself! i was nearly in tears i was so upset by it.
