Event rider Georgie Strang – who broke both wrists last month – says she plans to be back competing before the end of the season.
The 24-year-old Kent-based rider has been out of action since the fall, which happened while she was cross-country schooling on 14 August.
“Everything is healing well, so I plan to get out competing at the beginning of October,” she told H&H.
“This is the longest I have ever gone without riding and it is so frustrating, but I am doing everything I can to make my recovery as speedy as possible,” she added.
Georgie has now been selected for Le Lion seven-year-old World Horse Championships on Cooley Business Time, owned by Jenny Newton. This will be her main aim and motivation when her casts come off.
