Tributes have been paid to a student who died after falling from a horse the day after her 18th birthday.
Zoe Belfield, from Llandudno, Conwy, had ridden horses most of her life, and was described by a friend as “kind hearted, always smiling and happy”.
She was flown to Glan Clwyd Hospital, Bodelwyddan, after suffering a serious head injury near her home on Sunday, but died later.
She was studying A-Levels at Llandrillo College, Conwy.
A Welsh ambulance service spokesman said: “We were called on Sunday at 1.30pm to an incident involving an 18-year-old girl falling from a horse.
“The patient had suffered a serious, life-threatening head injury and was flown to hospital by air ambulance.”
