Two young girls have been praised after helping a walker who had fallen down a steep embankment.
The 28-year-old lone walker lay injured for about three hours until Louise Hierons, 12, and her friend Emma Watson passed by on their horses and discovered the man on Wilton Lane, Guisborough.
Louise then ran to a nearby farm and raise the alarm. She also fetched horse blankets to keep him warm until help arrived.
Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team (CMRT) were then called and rescued the man in an area around Court Green at about 6pm on Saturday.
A spokesperson for CMRT said: “The lone male had been out walking and was very well equipped when he took a tumble down a steep embankment and lay there for some time before he managed to get the attention of two female horse riders who were passing close to his location and raised the alarm for assistance.
“The team quickly responded from its base near Great Ayton with its two Land Rover ambulances. Once on scene the team worked alongside a paramedic from the North East Ambulance Service’s heart team based in Newcastle to help stabilize the casualty.
“The casualty was stabilized and treated for suspected spinal and pelvic injuries before being transported to James Cook University Hospital in one of the teams Land Rover ambulances.”
The spokesperson went on to praise the actions of the two young girls.
“The team would like to say a massive well done to these two young ladies,” they said.
“You both did an amazing job, well done ladies we are very proud of you from everyone at Cleveland MRT.”
