I had originally posted this on a thread in "Rotorheads":
"The Lincoln County air ambulance attended this riding accident. Most of the countryside around Middle and Market Rasen is difficult ground on which to carry out equine friendly ad hoc hems landings. Even with extended 500ft recces, it is not always possible to spot all the horses that seem to pop up all over the place in this well-known horse training and racing area.
It is a bit like trying to operate around the Newmarket area, but on a smaller scale."
Riding accidents make up about 8% of our callouts (80/1000 per year.) Calls to the Rasen area have always produced an uncomfortable feeling due livestock in area and the nature of the beast.
