A Welsh Grand National-winning trainer has been found guilty of assaulting a man who was walking a dog on his land.
Richard Evan Rhys Williams, known as Evan Williams, 54, repeatedly struck Martin Dandridge with a hockey stick during the night-time assault in Llancarfan, Vale of Glamorgan.
Williams broke Dandridge's arm during the incident which took place in December 2024.
He will be sentenced on 14 April at Cardiff Crown Court.
The court previously heard that Dandridge, 72, from Swindon, suffered injuries including a fractured arm during the incident.
The jury at Cardiff Crown Court took one hour 45 minutes to find Williams guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
He was granted bail until that date, but his barrister told the court he knew he was at risk of losing his liberty .
