Princess Anne’s mysterious head injury ‘consistent with being struck by horse’s head or legs’ 

A horse has a powerful neck with 40 pounds of bony head which can swing sideways and hit you hard. I saw stars when it happened to me! My horse didn't mean anything by it, bless him.

It can happen. Lifelong equestrian here - having worked on a horse farm with 25+ horses you can be as careful as possible but stuff still happens

It can happen very easily. Nothing sinister. Wishing her a full recovery.

Hardly mysterious that a person with a head injury can't remember the incident. My Grandad died from being kicked in the head by a horse.

Get well soon, Princess Anne! Being knocked down by either a horses head swinging or if she was bent over checking a horses leg she could have got a knee in the face...so many scenarios..but if she was out cold, did someone come looking for her or did she get herself up and back home? A kick even from unshod hoof would leave a tell tale mark..

Hope PA has a swift recovery. If she was patting a horse and it swung it's head quickly, maybe because of flies, PA could easily have been headbutted. It happens very quickly and is very painful. Loss of memory would be very likely.

Is the horse ok? The princess is made of stronger stuff! 👍

Awww…She is my FAVOURITE!!!!! I have unlimited respect & honour for her.…. Concussions are no joke. The brain requires rest, more rest & then even more rest to fully heal & I fear that may be difficult for her as she is accustomed to being very active. Holding Princess Royal Anne in my prayers. 🙏💙

Lifelong equestrian here. Horses can be very expressive by getting that head going. When you get clocked by a head in motion it knocks you down efficiently. Stuff happens often.

Concussions are often minor and patients not kept in hospital overnight. They can check for brain bleeds with CT Scans. Reasons for cautious watching include period of unconsciousness, severe symptoms (vomiting, vertigo, headache), age, or even position in the Constitutional Monarchy when the King himself is ill! Is it another slow news day?

I had a friend headbutted like that and she suffered severe concussion. The horse swung it's head up as she leaned over to do something.

It happens. My friend was kicked in the head by his horse. He is fine and has been for approx a decade

I hope that Princess Anne will be ok. 🇬🇧

Something may have frightened horse. I pray no one gave horse anything to act aggressive. That horse knows Anne well, horses usually do trust and bond with their riders. Of course any animal can be unpredictable at times. But I’m sure c will be investigated. I hope so for Royals security. Things like this may look innocent but not necessarily so. Those animals have to be double checked . But could b something may have frightened horse or startled it. Another animal.

No one has mentioned this is not her first concussion. 1976 her horse fell on her and she was knocked out. The Queen pitched a fit and said her compitition days were over. This can't be good.

If she was out on her own probably concuscion. My donkey gets a bit excited when feeding treats and their heads whip upwards hard and fast. I feel it's unlikely a kick as she wouldn't put herself at risk unless there were several horses pushing each other. I hope she is ok soon❤ . Im glad she had help nearby.

Amazing this happens just after she has secured the future of Princess Charlotte, I do hope she does recover from this incident

Princess Anne’s mysterious head injury ‘consistent with MK UL!

THE DARK CLOUD JUST KEEPS COMING FOR THE ROYALS. IF YOU CAN'T REMEMBER ITS NOT MINOR

THEY think she was headbutted by the horse. Wonder how the horse it doing? GOD Bless Princess Anne....may she make a full and rapid recovery! Memory loss is common in injuries like this....the electrical system is scrambled, and short term memories don't become long term memories. She'll remember walking in the field, fairly near the horse, and then waking up on the ground. The accident never comes back. If someone can describe their whole head injury, it didn't happen...at least the head wasn't injured.

That's what I thought. Animals are wonderful but you must be alert. They also have feelings. They can change their minds very quickly. GWS princess Ann. Blessings and greetings. 😘🕊️🌹🙏

They are watching here carefully for her to be in hospital for so long but that is good she is veing loiked after. I guess with previous bumps to her head they need to be extra careful and getting older. That's goingbto take the wind out of her sails for a bit. Speedy recovery Princess Anne ❤❤

Estão falando que a Camilla deu uma cabeçada e um coice na Anne.😮.

That Rosie might have had the decency to brush her hair - she looks as though she's still in bed !

Anne around and on horses since she was a baby. Never a kung fu horse with such a high kick whew. Very suspiscious BS done to the princess royale. Stop with your speculation it was an inside job.

God bless Pincess Anne, now she's backat home with her family in familiar suroundings. I hope she makes a speedy recovery...

it must be the old nag camilli that headbutted her

So, you’re speculating

You don't get hit by a horse's leg. That's nonsense. You can get kicked though, but on the head? Sounds too high. Could have been head butted, flies are annoying this time of year. My daughter was in the field with her pony and a trailer rattled by on the road. The pony spooked into her and sent her flying and she knocked her head on the ground.

Aren't horses trained not to come, unbidden, within six feet of a person? And wouldn't a kick from a horse tend to be serious?

Very british news.

Being around horses is always a risk. They're big, heavy, they kick and bite, and they don't care if they hurt you. Anne knows that better than most, but fear isn't a part of her. Hope she's going to be OK.

Maybe it was something else? 🤔🕵🏼‍♂️ Why does PA have no memory? 😱

Did the horse say? How does anyone blood pressure ?CVA maybe after she got soaked on the ….

🙏🏻

I was involved with some in Australia.one actually bolted On me and I jumped off Fracturing my wrist Anyway took proper lessons And learnt to ride properly Darwin Alice springs then England Northumberland A weeks riding along hadrians Wall had a fantastic horse Well behaved... then took up hiking which continues to Present day!

maybe it was a bee

Hope the horse is okay

Two legged horse

Many people who suffered concussions may get dementia years later. She was either headbutted, or kicked by a horse in the head which is something very serious. Her brain was affected. She doesn't remember the accident, which is a bad sign.

First I thought she fell off the horse but they are now calling it an incident. I bet she took one of the studs out for some quiet private fun and it didn’t turn out the way she expected. They won’t say how many stickers she took but the smile is on her face permeant.

❤❤❤❤❤

Ouch

She needs 24/7 security!

Great

Good Lord, now the (NEIGH) sayers will be speculating that she may have been abducted by aliens and she was hurt in the photoshopped horse mobile.

Probably thought she was a fellow horse trying kick off…

The horse has a right to defend itself

Is Anne the horse of Camilla ? I am totally confused, why did Anne headbutt Camilla? Step mother issues?

Big smelly unpredictable things horses are.

I have no doubt that Princess will be fine👑💪🏻 But I have to say,as a friendly opinion: It's the perfect time to show apreciation&respect for the horses...and mentality development...The horse was kind...gave a warning ,for his whole class ...Time to leave them alone 🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏇🏼🏹🏹🎪🎪🎪💂🏼💂🏼💂🏼They don't have a voice but we do ...please

Horses are for fools

It's never the animal's fault ...

Was the horse called Beatrice?

I work with rescued and abused horses, in a Canadian Sanctuary. Anne being injured/headbutted by a horse means she forgot to be kind.
