No evidence to back any of this up but i too would have thought this was a right hoot. When i was at uni down in london we used to have mass water fights from time to time.

I wonder if the riding instructer even bothered to note what was going on and adjust their chosen route accordingly or just took the line that they were where they should be and it was other people's fault if anything happened...

Sounds like stupid horsey people not taking precautions with their animals. Then the police using the old 'knife spotted' to stop it getting out of hand.

The kids were on horses - horses are dangerous at the best of times, but especially when riden in public places, where water fights can break out.

How the hell could you not spot 250 people from your vantage point on a horse, as an ex-horse rider myself I can safely say no sympathy.

The horses ride on the bridal way. It would have been the responsibility of others to maintain a suitable distance.

Sadly, long gone are the days in this country when a large group of people can have fun publically without a rather strong element causing trouble.

As for people assaulting police officer: kill them. Instantly.

Well why wear a good t-shirt to a water fight where it'll get ruined anyway? Chances are you'll slip and get muddy as well.
