While providing cover at the Ashbourne Horse Ride the team were approached by a lady rider who had fallen from her horse some time earlier. She was suffering from lower back pain. She had already self-mobilised, ridden a horse and was able to drive but given the nature of the fall she was advised to seek medical attention at her nearest Hospital Emergency Department.
