Man flown to hospital after falling from horse at country show

A man has been flown to a Sydney hospital after falling from a horse at the Taralga Show.

The man, aged in his thirties, was competing in one of the Show's horse events at the showground on Sunday, March 10, when he fell from the animal.

A NSW Ambulance media spokesman said paramedics were alerted at about noon and a road crew and the Toll rescue helicopter were deployed to Taralga.

The chopper landed at Gray Park while paramedics treated the man for suspected pelvic injuries. They took spinal precautions in lifting him.
