She added that her youngest daughter - and Ronan's third of four children - was heartbroken from having to take time out from riding. "Just home today. She’s now out of the saddle for 8-10 weeks and missing lots of competitions we had coming up. To say she is devastated is an understatement. 💔"
Ali also needed surgery to reset a number of broken bones after the accident, her mother also revealed: "After hours of surgery to repair broken bones she hopes to come back stronger."
