First Point to Point

The first point to point of the year. Hursley Hambleden at Badbury
Rings. All went relatively quietly until the last race. Then a jockey
fell and was trampled by the horse behind. On the head. Luckily for
her the helmet did its job and she managed to walk away. Doctor
cleared her and that was the end of our involvement in that. Excellent
comedy moment when a loose horse ran back and forth across the back of
the circuit. Must have done it 6 or 7 times and then it took 6 people
to catch. Had to dodge back in to the trees a few times as it ran
past.
