While Olivia did not reveal how she sustained the injury, pictures from her trip to Marbella earlier in the week showed her wearing a wrist guard.
MailOnline has contacted Olivia’s representatives for comment.
The injury will have come as a blow to Olivia who had been preparing to take part in a horse race.
She revealed with fans last month that had ‘a wobble’ during training, writing: ‘I cried to a couple members of the team & to my trainer on the phone. What am I doing? Am I mad for this?
‘I just felt like I couldn’t do it, the anxiety that morning was crippling, especially for someone who suffers with such confidence issues.’
However, she was determined to get back in the saddle, revealing: ‘I got back on, big girl knickers ON & remembering why I’m doing this!
‘Look we’re trying to prove that anything is possible as a woman if you give her the tools. So I’m picking the tools back up & I am doing this, no matter how scared I am or how hard it gets. I know I’ll miss it all when it’s over!’
Olivia had recently taken some time out of training to enjoy a family holiday to Barbados last month.
