A British rider was killed after she got trapped underneath her horse when it fell at a fence and landed on top of her, an inquest has heard.
Primary school teacher Sarah Jayne Yorke, 37, died from chest and abdominal injuries following the horrific accident on August 8.
The mother from mid Wales had been competing in a cross-country event at Aston-le-Walls Horse Trials in the village of the same name in Northamptonshire.
Opening the inquest into her death, senior coroner Anne Pember, heard Ms Yorke's horse failed to jump the third fence and landed on top of her.
She added at the hearing in Northampton that other competitors had successfully completed the fence before the accident.
