Five-star event rider Izzy Taylor has broken her left leg in a fall schooling at home.

“This is quite a hard path for me to tread – basically any injury or challenge I’ve had before, I could physically battle through. That’s not the case with this so it’s very new and quite challenging. I can do some things, some rehab, and I’m doing as much as I can do and hopefully that will pay off in the long run,” Izzy told H&H.
