A jockey who was injured in a pile-up which killed her friend Megan Taylor has been receiving counselling to help her get over the trauma of the tragic accident.
Tina Comignaghi, one of New Zealand’s top riders, broke her ankle in the crash in which four horses went down, including apprentice Taylor, 26, in the middle of a race at Ashburton in December.
Taylor was struck by another runner as she lay on the ground and was pronounced dead shortly after. An unnamed apprentice jockey has been charged with careless riding by stewards in New Zealand.
