Olympian and household name, WIlliam Fox-Pitt (GBR), has taken another tumble out on cross country, just weeks after his return to the saddle.

Fox-Pitt was aboard the lovely Parklane Hawk at Weston Park. They were undertaking their Advanced cross country round when they ran into trouble at a corner fence.

Parklane Hawk reportedly clipped the highest point on the fence, causing both horse and rider to fall.

Both Fox-Pitt and Parkland Hawk are reported to be "absolutely fine" following the fall.

William Fox-Pitt's recent return to riding comes after he suffered head trauma in a cross country fall last year.
