Girl rider, 13, died after gymkhana fall


A young Bolton-by-Bow-


land girl was fatally injured when she and her horse fell


at a gymkhano on Sunday. Christine Bell, aged 13, of Copy Nook Farm, appeared to


lose control of her horse while competing at Griffin Farm, ROfsendale Road. Burnley.


She was thrown, to the


ground, and the horse fell on top of her. She died soon after


being admitted to Burnley Vic­ toria Hospital. At an inquest on Tuesday,


the Burnley coroner, Mr. H. G. W. Cooper, recorded a verdict of misadventure.


Experienced Her mother. Mrs. Amy Bell,


told ti’e inquest that Christine had borrowed the pony. Tan­ tivy. from a friend, but she


was an experienced and accom­ plished rider, and had ridden Tantivy before.


At the time of the accident


she had been wearing a pro­ tective riding hat.


Mr. Joseph Salkeld, of Cog


Lane. Burnley, chairman of the North East Lancashire Riding Club, who organised the one- day show, knew Christine as a member of the club.


He said; “She had managed


seven jumps of the mile-long cross-country course, and the


accident occured at the eighth jump, which was 21ft. high. “The jump was at the bot­


tom of a bank, and she had to cross a stream first.”’


Mr. Saikeld said that he con­ sidered the course was perfect­ ly safe for junior events, but that he thought Ohristine might have been tempted to go too fast because the race was run against the clock.


“It all happened very


quickly, but she appeared to be approaching the jump too fast for safety. The horse did not have a chance to negotiate


the fence, threw her, and fell on top of her.”


Mr. Phillip Mason, who was


in attendance as jump steward, and who is responsible for the


maintenance of the jumps, said he saw Christine approaching the eighth jump at an exces­ sive speed.


jump and Christine was thrown followed by the pony, which dropped on to her head. A doctor who was one of the


spectators attended to Chris­ tine after the accident, and a» ambulance was sent for im­ mediately. but she died shortly after being admitted to hos­ pital.


Dr. G. Behr, pathologist, said


that the cause of death was cerebral lacerations, due to a fractured skull.

Lovely Having had a break for a cup


of tea and to stretch our legs, we made our way up the Lythe Valley, which to us, is one of the nicest approaches to Lake­ land. particularly as the sun was really showing the lovely early-autumn colourings at their best. Bowness was chosen as a suitable place to have lunch. After our meal, Jim. our cap­ tain for the day. thought it would be wise to spend par' of the afternoon at Bowness. Some of us went walking by


the lakeside, others did a bit of shop-gazing. This suited the women very much, and. in fact, everyone seemed to enjoy them­ selves in their own particular way. Leaving the car park and


taking the road round the lake past Adelaide Hill and up Mil­ lers Brow, we had a lovely view of the Langdale Pikes. The blue and white sails of


the boats looked very pictures­ que as we passed along the lakeside to Waterhead and from there on to Skelwith Bridge and the Coniston road.

break before continuing on the west side of the lake to Tower and Greenodd and so on to


Newby Bridge. We had a fine view of More-


cambe Bay as we drifted down the hill to Lindale. A halt was called for tea at


the cafe at Gilfins Bridge. As the traffic was building up we thought it advisable not to spend too much time over tea. When we moved away, we fil­


tered into the traffic and jour­ neyed to Levens Bridge. Better progress was made to Miln- thorpe. Crooklands and Settle. Keeping to the main road to


Gisburn. we arrived back in Clitheroe at 8-30 p.m., having had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Although we travelled a little


in Westmorland and Yorkshire, practically all the route was in Lancashire, which we thought very fitting considering it was the first run of the East Lancs
