TEENAGE RIDER DIES AT HORSE TRIAL EVENT IN UPPER HUNTER

A teenage girl tragically died during a horse trial event near Scone this morning.

17-year-old Olivia Inglis was competing in the cross country phase at the Scone Horse Trials at around 9:20 when the accident occurred.

It’s believed the rider was tossed when family horse Coriolanus fell during a combination jump.

The on-course doctor and paramedic attended, but she wasn’t able to be revived.

The event was subsequently cancelled and counselling services arranged for anyone in attendance.

The horse is reportedly in a stable condition.
