Riders in the UK are sharing pictures of themselves and their horses in memory of Bonamie Armitage, the nine-year-old girl who suffered fatal injuries while out with a hunt. Owners are posting photographs on social media with the hashtag #BlueForBonnie, in memory of the schoolgirl, who was kicked by another horse while out with the Cotswold on Saturday (3 April). The pictures include rider or horse wearing something blue, as this was Bonnie’s favourite colour. Bonnie was riding her Shetland pony Lindsay when she was kicked. She was airlifted to hospital but died later that day. The campaign echoes the #RideForOlivia hashtag, for which riders shared their favourite horsey pictures in memory of Olivia Inglis, who died in an eventing accident on 6 March. The pictures were made into a mosaic of Olivia riding, which was given to her family.
