A rider who returned to eventing following two hip replacements hopes to encourage others to continue doing what they love, and has formed a support group for riders recovering from surgery. Derbyshire-based Becky Mullan-Feroze, 57, had her first hip replacement aged 44, and her second aged 48. Becky suffers with osteoarthritis but said fracturing her hip and pelvis in a rotational fall in 1990 had exacerbated the problem. “I had to have early replacements and my surgeon said I wouldn’t ride again,” she told H&H. “I didn’t know anyone that had had replacements so it was a really anxious time and I was looking for information and support but couldn’t find any.”
