Lisa Cropp, the champion New Zealand jockey, is in a New Zealand hospital with a fractured skull following a freak accident yesterday.
Cropp was trapped beneath a pony that she was educating for her teenage daughter, when it ran through a fence railing.
It's then believed that the pony landed on top of the Cropp.
Cropp, one of the leading jockeys in New Zealand, holds the national record for the most winners in a season and has ridden 12 in the past fortnight in Australia.
Cropp has recently moved to Australia, basing herself in Melbourne, and has quickly established herself, including riding a treble at Sandown on November 28.
Cropp was due to appeal to the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board tomorrow against a careless riding charge incurred at Moonee Valley last Friday night.
The appeal has now been withdrawn.
