Festival-winning jockey was told she might not ride again after suffering multiple dislocations
The most amazing success at the last Cheltenham Festival has now led to an equally amazing comeback story. Harriet Tucker pushed out Pacha Du Polder to win the Foxhunters Chase despite dislocating her troublesome right shoulder on the run-in, an achievement for which she was celebrated at the time; unknown to all but those close to her, she was then told that her shoulder was in such a bad way that one more fall might lead to her losing the use of her right arm.

Since Harriet Tucker last rode competitively in April she has endured a shoulder operation to save her arm & worked tirelessly to get back in the saddle. She’s back today with a bang winning on Monsieur Gibraltar at Larkhill. Well done H, your hard work has paid off! #goTuck pic.twitter.com/AdwO7ZaE3P
