A horse rider had to be stretchered from a Cornish beach this lunchtime after a bad fall.

Mullion Coastguards were paged at 12.11pm to Polurrian Cove near Mullion.

A woman had fallen badly from her horse while riding across the beach and was thought to have injured her shoulder.

The coastguards stretchered her up the cliff path to an ambulance waiting at the top, where she received care from paramedics.
