The rider was found unconscious on Redcar beach after the horse was spotted on the loose
A woman who was found unconscious on Redcar beach after falling from her horse has been airlifted to hospital.
The alarm was raised after a member of the public spotted the horse on the loose near the Sat 9.50am today.
Emergency services including police ambulance and the police helicopter were called following fears that the rider had been thrown from the horse.
She was found unconscious about half a mile towards South Gare.
She was airlifted to Middlesbrough’s James Cook University Hospital by the police helicopter.
Inspector Ashley Harvey said: ““Due to the location of the woman and the tide coming in the decision was made to transport the woman to hospital using the police helicopter instead of waiting for the air ambulance. A paramedic from the ambulance service also came in the helicopter with the woman.”
