VICTORIA Pendleton was reported to be none the worse after being unseated from Working Title in the novice riders' event over three miles at Barbury Castle point-to-point today.

The horse, who was well-beaten at the time, got in too close to a fence in the latter stages of the race, unshipping the double Olympic cycling champion.

"She was unseated five from home. She's fine, not a bother on her. She got up and walked away. She was checked out by the doctor and is 100 per cent," said Barry Orr, PR manager for Betfair, who are backing Pendleton's "switching saddles" campaign.

"The horse got in a little bit close, was tiring at the time and dropping back. The horse got in a little tight to the fence, landing steeply and just pitched her over. It was one of those things. Both are fine."

Pendleton's next date will be her first ride under Rules in a hunter chase at Fakenham on Friday when she teams up with the Paul Nicholls-trained Pacha Du Polder, who she hopes to ride in the St James's Place Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham next month.
