A pair of horse riders were riding down a path to get on to the Middlewood way near to High Lane. One of the horses reared up and threw the rider off the back. The horse then fell over backwards on top of the rider, injuring her hip and lower back. An ambulance crew had arrived on scene and asked us to help with the evacuation.
We packaged the young lady in to a vacuum mattress to immobilise her before transferring her on to our stretcher and wheeling her back down the track to the waiting ambulance and onward to hospital.
The team wishes the lady a speedy recovery.
