Poulter Country Park — Attraction in Bolsover

!!!! Went on a pony trek here, brilliant place, gorgeous horses. The park clearly states that horses are allowed on. There are purple signs up stating this and that vehicles aren't allowed on. We were followed by someone driving a Derbyshire council van around the park, not at a distance but literally up the last horses bottom. If this person had any knowledge or common sense they would know to keep a safe distance from horses. I felt like a criminal on what should of been a wonderful trek. Some of the horses were spooked by a dog charging up to us whilst this person. Was following us. They didn't ven have the common decancy to see if we were OK o had been injured. No they did not. They took photos of us!!! Including my 12 year old daughter, this was a private trek and they did not have permission to do so. I travelled 40 miles just to have a special treat turned into a fiasco by Derbyshire County Council. Cheers for that!!!! The horses and Countryside were fabulous. Derbyshire council get your act together and give your employees some knowledge about horses. Luckily it was only a couple that bolted if all 10 had bolted up the hill when your employee was behind us there could of been a serious accident as the horses had no where to go as the van...
