A WOMAN who narrowly survived a horse riding accident is back in the saddle and planning a return to eventing in 2021.
Anna Tomson was crushed beneath her mare Berry when the pair were out hacking through College Wood, off Deadman’s Lane, near Goring Heath, in May.
The animal was startled by some off-road motorcyclists and fell on top of her, inflicting severe internal injuries.
Miss Tomson was in a coma in hospital for four weeks, during which she underwent several operations. She required extensive physiotherapy after coming round.
She rode again for the first time in October and has since completed some small jumps on Berry and now intends to follow a more structured training programme.
