Tapner's Lucky crash escape

The Tapner eventing team had an extremely lucky escape when a Polish lorry crashed into them on the way to Summerhouse Equestrian Centre for a BSJA show.

Paul Tapner, who was the winner of Badminton Horse trials 2010, reported on his Facebook page: “Head girl Zoe Wilkinson was in the driving seat (stationary), one horse thrown onto road on impact, other two rather squashed, but amazingly all escaped with only cuts and bruises.”

Miraculously no one was seriously hurt in the crash and all horses and humans walked away from the scene.
