Girl, 15, has her face rebuilt after horse kicked her in the mouth breaking her jaw and knocking out seven teeth
Doctors spent four hours pinning her jaw back together again
A TEENAGE girl is lucky to be alive after she was kicked in the face by a horse and will spend weeks recovering.
Georgia Hull, 15, was riding her pony Star last month when the horse in front of them kicked out, breaking her jaw and knocking out seven teeth.
The teen was rushed to hospital by air ambulance after being knocked unconscious in the horrific accident.
Georgia's mum, Julie, could only watch in shock as riding in front of her daughter, she suddenly heard terrified screams coming from behind.
She said: "We were riding along a track and I was slightly ahead of her but people on foot saw the horse kick out and Georgia just slide off her pony.
"Everyone helped to hold the horses and two girls rode back to get help and others called an ambulance.
"You could see straight away that her jaw was broken, it almost looked as though it might fall off. She had to spit her teeth out.
"She had come round but she was very hysterical, it was horrifying to see her like that."
Georgia had to spend five days in hospital recovering, and shocking pictures show her swollen face after the accident.
Her mouth had swollen to the point where she couldn't breathe and doctors were forced to operate on her jaw for a four hours to pin it back together.
Julie said: "She had to have an x-ray to check that she hadn't swallowed any of her teeth and there was so much blood in her mouth it kept making her sick.

"It took a couple of days for me to tell her about her teeth as I knew she would be upset.
Now recovering at home after the distressing ordeal, Georgia can only eat pureed foods and will not be able to ride again for weeks.
Her friends have set up a fundraising page to raise money to fund the extensive dental work the teen needs.
