A woman was taken to hospital after she was trampled by a horse in a field.

Firefighters from Hinckley were called out to Mill Lane, by the new A47 bypass in Earl Shilton, to help paramedics treating the casualty on the scene.

An ambulance service spokeswoman said they received a call at 5pm on Monday.

"The caller reported that a horse had stood on the patient near Mill Lane in Earl Shilton," she said.

"The patient was located away from the road so we asked the caller if they could arrange for someone to stand in a safe position near the roadside so we could find them more easily when arriving at the scene."

She added: "We requested assistance from the fire service to help lift the patient over the embankment and are grateful for their support."

A fire service spokesman said: "The crew needed to light the area because it was getting dark and, using a long board and extension ladder, got her to the ambulance."

The woman was taken to George Eliot Hospital, in Nuneaton, where she arrived at 7.20pm.

No information has been issued about the extent of her injuries.
