MEMBERS of the eventing and wider equestrian community rallied around Ballynahinch’s Catherine Robinson last week following the devastating news that a kick to the face has left her with catastrophic injuries that have left her permanently blind in both eyes.

A former member of the Eventing Ireland Northern Region and competitive rider, Catherine set up her own business, CR Breaking and Schooling, in Southam, England two years ago. Sadly, this accident means the closure of her business and a long road to recovery.
