BEST wishes for a speedy recovery to Northern Region event rider Janie Cairns who has suffered an untimely injury just a few short weeks into the season.

“A young horse slipped and fell on me when I was riding him in the field late last week,” the Belfast native told Pony Tales on Monday. “I broke a load of bones in my foot and dislocated them and also broke my ankle. I had surgery at the weekend so am on the mend – it’s just going to take a wee while.
