A 12-year-old girl was flown to hospital with serious head injuries after falling from a horse on a beach in North Berwick on Tuesday (14 July).
An RAF rescue team was scrambled to a private beach at Seacliff, where local papers say an East Lothian Pony Club event was taking place, and the girl was flown to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh.
The child has not been named and the district commissioner of the Pony Club branch was not available to discuss the incident with H&H.
