COASTGUARD officers and ambulance services were called to Studland Beach to assist a woman who had fallen while horse riding.
Swanage Coastguard said it sent a team to Pilots Point yesterday morning following reports of a young woman falling awkwardly.
The officers were joined by colleagues from St Albans as they assisted paramedics from the South Western Ambulance Service.
A spokesman for Swanage Coastguard said: "The team stabilised the casualty before moving her to a safer location away from the incoming tide and sheltered away from the fresh wind.
"The Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance was despatched from Henstridge and duly flew the casualty to Poole Hospital.
"Our thanks go to the National Trust and the neighbourhood police team for their assistance and offering a 4-wheel drive capability in this remote location."
