British event rider air-lifted to hospital after schooling fall

British event rider Louise Harwood has broken her pelvis in a fall. While riding a youngster on December 8th, Louise fell of the horse. She was taken to Hereford Hospital by air ambulance where x-rays showed she had broken her pelvis in two places. “For some reason he bucked and then spooked and bucked again. He then swerved when he decided jumping out over the rails wasn’t such a good plan and lost me in the process," states the rider. Hundreds of well wishes have sent their support to the rider on Facebook. This is the second accident Louise has been involved in this year, having broken her shoulder in a fall on 18 October. She had been planning to compete in the four-star at Pau but was instead out of action for five weeks.
