Lollipop lady stops charging horses
Lollipop men and women have to be quite brave, we think, what with some of the reckless drivers there are on the road.
So we definitely take our hats off to one 53-year-old lollipop lady who stopped a group of charging horses on her watch!
She stated, "I looked up the road and thought that's a lot of horses.
"I stood there and held my stick out as they ran towards me and they must have been startled by my jacket.
"It was lucky the horses didn't come running along 10 minutes earlier as they would have killed some children.
"It's not something you expect to see"
Guiding the horses into a garden, she kept them off the road until the police and RSPCA came to take over and the owners arrived to return the animals back to the field they had escaped from.
The headteacher of the school for which the lollipop lady works applauded her quick thinking, and we do too!
