Tragedy as Scots animal lover dies after falling from horse she'd owned for just a few weeks
TRIBUTES have been paid to a woman who died after falling from a horse she had owned for just a few weeks. Louise Goudman, 40 suffered a bleed to the brain after the fall while riding horse Bobby on May 2 but tragically passed away in hospital three days later. Her partner Malcolm Cameron paid tribute to her and said she 'died doing something that she loved'. He said Bobby would now be looked after by Our Children's Trust, a charity near Carluke, Lanarkshire, which provides holistic therapy for families affected by trauma and grief. The Glasgow livery where Louise was a client said she had been having 'teething problems' since purchasing the horse and they had been trying to help her. Butshe sustained a serious head injury after tumbling from Bobby and never regained consciousness. Mr Cameron launched a fundraising page where to help support the charity with the cost of the horse's upkeep. He said: "My beautiful partner Louise tragically died on the 5th of May 2025, a week before her 41st birthday, following a horse riding accident a few days earlier. "She died doing something that she loved. She adored animals and wouldn't have blamed her young horse, even with his flaws, whom she had only known a couple of months. "We deliberated long and hard what was the best, Louise-friendly thing to do, whilst morally knowing no one can ride Bobby again. "We don't want anyone to be put through the heartache of having their loved one wrenched from their lives in such an unexpected and sudden way. "This charity rescues and re-house horses best met our needs and have kindly agreed to look after Bobby." In a social media post, South Cathkin Farm, based near Rutherglen, said it was 'devastated' at the death of its client, who was described by those who knew her as a 'kind soul and a true animal lover'. It said: "It is with great sadness that we lost one of our lovely clients, Louise Goudman, who had been livery with us a few years back then recently purchased her new horse Bobby a couple of months ago. "Louise was having teething issues with Bobby and we were trying our best to iron them out. Unfortunately she took a bad fall on Friday 2 May and never regained consciousness. She sadly passed away on Monday 5 May. "We are all devastated for Louise's family." The appeal has so far raised more than £3,000 with dozens of tributes also being left for Louise. One said: "I had the privilege to work with Louise over the last couple of years and we are all heartbroken over her loss and the impact on her lovely family. Always in our hearts and prayers." Another wrote: "Thinking of you all at such a difficult time. Louise was a lovely, kind and beautiful person who will be very sadly missed by many." A third added: "Louise's energy and passion will be deeply missed by so many. Love and strength to all who knew this beautiful soul."

Tragedy of mother who died from horrific head injury after falling from horse
A mother has died after falling from a horse that she had owned for just a few weeks. Louise Goudman suffered a bleed to the brain after falling from her horse, Bobby, on May 2. She passed away in hospital three days later - just a week before what would have been her 41st birthday yesterday. The Glasgow livery where Ms Goudman was a client said she had been having 'teething problems' since purchasing the horse and they had been trying to 'iron them out'. But after suffering a 'bad fall' while riding Bobby 10 days ago, Ms Goudman sustained a serious head injury and never regained consciousness. Her partner Malcolm Cameron paid tribute to his 'beautiful partner' who 'died doing something that she loved'. He said the horse would now be looked after by Our Childrens Trust, a charity near Carluke, Lanarkshire, which provides holistic therapy for families affected by trauma and grief, after deliberating 'long and hard what was the best Louise friendly thing to do' while 'morally knowing' that 'no one can ride Bobby again'. Mr Cameron has now launched a fundraising page to help support the charity with the cost of the horse's upkeep. In a moving statement he said: 'My beautiful partner Louise tragically died on the 5th of May 2025, a week before her 41st birthday, following a horse riding accident a few days earlier. 'She died doing something that she loved. She adored animals and wouldn't have blamed her young horse, even with his flaws, whom she had only known a couple of months.

We don't want anyone to be put through the heart ache of having their loved one wrenched from their lives in such an unexpected and sudden way. 'This charity that rescue and re-house horses best meet our needs and have kindly agreed to look after Bobby.' He added that the funds raised from the justgiving page will go towards paying for his upkeep. In a social media post the livery at South Cathkin Farm, Rutherglen, Glasgow, said it was 'devastated' at the death of its client, who was described by those who knew her as a 'kind soul and a true animal lover'.

Within just a few hours of the fundraising appeal going online, more then £2,500 had been raised for the horse as supporters paid tribute to a 'lovely girl'. One said: 'I'll miss our chats regarding dogs and horses. We are only chatting the morning of [the accident] too. I know how much you loved him and your dogs. I've not stopped thinking of you.' Another added: 'I will miss you Lou - can't believe I'll never see or speak to you again. I will forever cherish the memories and stories we have from navigating motherhood together.' One person said her death was 'heartbreaking' and 'a reminder that our sport is dangerous and our horses can be so unpredictable'.
