Top rider recovering in hospital after ‘freak accident’ at show

Showjumper Phillip Miller is recovering in hospital after a freak accident at the South of England Show yesterday (8 June).

The 2013 Hickstead Derby winner was walking towards the ring at Ardingly to compete in the international stairway class when the horse he was riding, Unbelievable Lady (Ash), spooked at something and spun.

The mare fell, becoming entangled in metal fencing.

Phillip was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, for treatment. It was later confirmed that he had sustained minor injuries in the fall.
