The 23-year old was riding on their country estate when the accident happened and had to be rushed to the nearby Countess of Chester hospital.

"The horse stumbled, decided to rear and fell on top of Louise," said a close friend.

"She knew she was hurt and decided not to move. Michael was nearby and came over to help her and called an ambulance.

"Michael is upset by what has happened and will spend as much time as he can with Louise."
