Richard Evan Rhys Williams, a 54-year-old champion horse trainer, is accused of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to Martin Dandridge, a 72-year-old dog walker, on December 4, 2024, in the rural village of Llancarfan, Wales. Dandridge was walking his daughter's dog on the gallops near Evan Williams Racing, a racehorse training center, wearing a headtorch and placing a light on the dog due to darkness. Williams' family mistook the lights for lamping—an illegal activity involving bright lights to hunt animals like rabbits and foxes. Williams and jockey Conor Ring pursued Dandridge in a vehicle, passing nearby police officers on rural crime patrol. The incident occurred at Cardiff Crown Court, where Williams denies the charges.
