A run that had a scary end

Rachael’s story:

I was running on my own without a dog on a public right of way. I saw some bullocks on the hill. They appeared very restless and were locking horns and sparring. Despite giving them a very wide berth, a large horned bullock ran at me, stopped two feet in front of me, snorting and pawing the ground. It was terrifying. I honestly think I’d have been attacked if I hadn’t looked away and very slowly walked whilst making soothing noises. I heard it following me, still angry and snorting but eventually it got bored and turned back. I was very scared and have reported this incident to the local authority.
