A 23-year-old woman from Pietà is in a critical condition after she fell off a horse while riding in Wied is-Sewda, Qormi, yesterday. The incident happened at about 5 p.m., the police said.
An ambulance took the woman to Mater Dei Hospital where she is under intensive care. Magistrate Michael Mallia is holding an inquiry.
The incident was the second of its nature this year after Sarah Borg, 22, was critically injured last month when she was thrown off her horse at the racetrack in Marsa. Her condition has since improved.
