Dressage rider Charlotte Dujardin looks likely to miss the central regionals next week after an accident during training this week.
Charlotte was bucked off a young horse and knocked out.
Carl Hester, who trains Charlotte, said: “Charlotte can’t ride at the moment, it's too painful.
“She has a massive headache and we think she might have burst her eardrum. She’s extremely lucky but her back and head really hurt.
“It will be a miracle if she can ride in the next week — so I might be taking a last minute ride at the regionals.”
