PHOTO: GREGOR RICHARDSONA woman who was hit by a horse while walking on a Dunedin beach says tighter controls are needed about horses on beaches. However, the owner of the horse says the crash could not have been prevented and was not something that happened often. Nurse Sue Roker said she was walking along Ocean View Beach on Sunday afternoon with her husband and two dogs when a herd of about eight horses approached. The Dunedin City Council’s Reserves and Beaches Bylaw 2017 permits people to ride on most Dunedin beaches, including Ocean View Beach.
