Dramatic fall at the last as horse and rider take tumble


15.06.09

This is the moment a horse and rider were caught in a frightening synchronised fall at an international horse trials.

Eventer Faith Cook suffered a back injury when her horse, Nagor de la Roche, fell at the final water jump at the Bramham International Horse Trials in Wetherby, West Yorkshire, at the weekend.

Miss Cook, who was competing in the under-25 section, was detained in Leeds General Infirmary.

A trials spokesman said it was too early to say whether she would make a full recovery.

The horse suffered severe bruising.

I hope everyone has a full recovery. It is so sad to suffer an injury doing something we all love so much. I miss eventing.
