Talented Bahraini jockey Nada Taleb was injured while taking part in the Bahrain Royal Equestrian and Endurance Federation (Breef) showjumping championship on Saturday.
She fell off her horse at one of the turns at the grounds of the Military Sports Association in Sakhir, which caused a fracture of her right arm.
The medics rushed the rider to the hospital to undergo a surgical operation, while the organisers readjusted the course to ensure the safety of jockeys and horses.
Breef showjumping community and fellow riders wished Taleb quick recovery.
Taleb was impressive during the National Day Championship, winning the third race and clinching the coveted trophy.
