1. Horse put down after hot air balloons flew over
The owner of a horse who had to be put down after he was panicked by low-flying hot air balloons says she has lost her best friend – as well as thousands of pounds. Andrea Cox spent months rehabbing her 17-year-old gelding Taffechan Dafydd after he broke his pedal bone during flights held in place of the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta (BIBF) in August 2021, but his condition worsened and she had to have him put down.

“A few jumps had been blowing over and I’d joked beforehand, ‘As long as it doesn’t happen as you’re coming towards a fence…’ and that’s literally what happened!” says Will.
