The 23-year-old jockey, who raced to victory aboard 66-1 shot Auroras Encore in the John Smith's Grand National on Saturday, raced the following day at Hexham, suffering a horror fall from his mount, Stagecoach Jasper.

Mania received extensive on-course treatment before eventually being airlifted to hospital.

This lunchtime he tweeted: "Delighted to be getting out today. Looking forward to getting home to see friends & family. Would also love to see GN2013 replay. #excited"

An MRI scan on his back and neck revealed a small fracture of his C7 vertebrae and some soft tissue and ligament damage.

Last night he tweeted his frustration at being kept in, saying: "In hospital for another night. Getting bored now. Thanks again for all the messages of support. #couldbeworse"

A homecoming party is being held in his honour in Galashiels, his hometown, this evening.

In a statement, Mania's agent, Bruce Jeffrey, said: "Ryan had his MRI scan this morning and it has shown up a very small fracture in his C7 vertebra and there is also some soft tissue and ligament damage.

"Ryan feels fine in himself and he is up and walking about perfectly fine.

"He is hoping to be back in the saddle in the very near future.

"Once again, Ryan and his family would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody for their support, it has been fantastic, and he just can't wait to get back riding again."

And Lorenze exposes Hammer as an out of control narcissistic sexual deviant, whose wild fantasies and BDSM fueled desires which she says could ‘seriously injure another woman.’ The blond beauty...
