An amateur rider who trained near Llandrindod Wells died in hospital on Sunday following a fall at Taunton earlier this month. Lorna Brooke was riding Orchestrated for her mother, Lady Susan Brooke, who is based in Dolau, when falling at the third fence in the Pontispool Equine Sports Centre Handicap Chase on April 8. Racing was delayed by more than hour as she was treated on track, before being transferred into an air ambulance. Dolau village residents have been paid to the 37-year-old following the tragic news. Our thoughts are with Lorna’s family, Llanfihangel Rhydithon C.P. School said. She would always smile and wave at the children in the playground whilst riding past.
