Kids see mum die in fatal fall

Two children of a female jockey witnessed their mother's tragic fall - and collision with another horse - during a race meeting in Gore.

Riverton-based Rebecca Black, 40, a mother of three, died after her horse Point Proven stumbled and fell, dislodging her from the saddle.

The fall happened during Race 8 at the Tapanui Racing Club meeting.

The trailing horse, Misscattlecreek, ridden by Terry Moseley, had nowhere to go and also fell and appeared to land on Black. Mosley escaped without major injury.

Misscattlecreek was reportedly euthanased following the fall.
