Rider is thrown on to wire fence

A 14-year-old girl had to spend two days in hospital after she was thrown from her horse on to a barbed wire fence in Cornwall.

The incident happened on a public right of way on Mithian Downs near St Agnes. on Sunday afternoon.

Her horse reacted to a 4x4 vehicle taking part in an off-road event and she was thrown from the horse and suffered serious facial injuries.

She was treated and has now been released from hospital.
