A south Dublin Equestrian Centre has paid a heartbreaking tribute to a young Dublin girl who died in a training accident on Wednesday afternoon.

The tragic 15-year-old, known as ‘Tiggy’ to friends and family suffered serious injuries during the routine exercise at the Greenogue Equestrian Centre in Tay Lane, Rathcoole at around 2pm.

She was rushed to Our Lady’s Hospital in Crumlin after being treated by Dublin Fire Brigade and the National Ambulance Service at the scene but sadly died in hospital a time later.

Greenogue Equestrian Centre described the young girl as a “star” horse rider.

They told Dublin Live: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the poor child. She was a star in the equestrian community and will be hugely missed.
