"It was one of the first times I rode at a decent level so [winning] was a great way to come back."
Mrs Wilson said at the start of the day she had just been happy to be competing.
But when it was just her and her husband in the final rounds, she said she watched him compete and thought she could do some speedy turns to win.
"I just beat him ... I think he thought I was just going to go gently," she said.
She wasn't scared to compete.
"When it happened I was on a young horse at home, on [Saturday] I was on my old favourite [horse] who had competed at that level before, so I was in good hands," she said.
Following the accident Mrs Wilson was the cheerleader for her husband and children when they competed, which was "the next best thing to riding".
But with the advice from her doctors and physiotherapist, Mrs Wilson had got back into it, and begun training.
She said she had been a little bit rusty at first, as she had had a rod inserted into her thigh and spent three months on crutches.
"Training was more about getting me right than the horses, getting me strong enough and confident," she said.
"I was a bit weak in that leg, but the more I ride the stronger I'll get ... the weakness was the only thing that's held me back until now."
