Walsh - Cheltenham's most successful jockey - had only returned from a broken leg last week.
He was due to ride Douvan in the Queen Mother Chase this afternoon but was replaced by Patrick Mullins after his fall.
The 38-year-old rode two winners at the festival yesterday.
Very best wishes to @Ruby_Walsh after his fall. The ride on Douvan in the Champion Chase goes to Patrick Mullins who gained his first Grade 1 over fences on the same horse @LeopardstownRC on St Stephen's Day in 2015. pic.twitter.com/SRvFbHLuZv
