The Trustpower TECT rescue helicopter was dispatched to Taneatua at 2pm on Saturday, where a woman had been injured during a horse riding event.
The 53-year-old's horse had reared up on a steep hill, causing the rider to fall, after which the horse also fell on her.
The woman suffered a fracture to her lower right leg.
Due to the terrain, the woman was hover loaded into the rescue helicopter, then flown to Tauranga Hospital for treatment.
