A rider who broke her pelvis after she was crushed by a horse during a fox hunt run by one of Britain s wealthiest landowners is suing the animal s owner for £100,000 over her injuries.
Lisa Ford, 41, from Badminton, Gloucestershire, suffered multiple fractures, including internal bleeding, when her horse reared up and fell backwards onto her while she was riding on the Badminton Estate with the Beaufort Hunt in 2018.
Ms Ford, a groom, is now suing her former employer, businessman Jonathan Seymour-Williams, 65, who was the keeper of the horse she was riding when the accident took place.
The rider says Mr Seymour-Williams must pay damages for her injuries as she had been riding Tommy as part of her job to prepare the horse for his son and daughter to ride out hunting later in the season.
