Are all horses/riders home safe after Burghley XC?

[VictoriaEDT]

Been sooo busy with work the past couple of days I havent been able to watch Burghley!
Wanted to know if all got home safely?

About 6 or 7 pretty nasty horse falls but they all got up and walked away.

Haven't read anything yet online to say otherwise

I caught a glimpse of Jo Meyers fall when he was scrabbling to get away but thats it. Thank god all are ok as far as we know!

I believe Joe had to withdraw his other horse as he wasn't well enough to compete. Not sure of the injuries though.

Daisy Dick was lucky - would hope that is just bruising going to come out but looked so sore when the horse recovered.

My mum rang me yesterday whilst the coverage was on to ask how Joe Meyers was, just after he had fallen! Not sure why she thought I might know

Hope all the fallers are OK today

Does anyone know what happened to rose merlin?

we were standing at the water when it went lame

They showed Karin Donkers' horse go wrong on the TV today, so I hope that means it's OK..........
I thought the worst, tbh, I was worried about a foot fracture the way it went so wrong so fast.........

What happened to Marie Ryan and her chestnut, is it Sparrow Hall?? He banked some fences and the commentators implied she should pull up, next thing I heard there was a hold on the course as she'd had a fall. Just want to know they are ok as saw her do her dressage and really liked the horse!

I have been wondering the same. BBC didn't cover her fall at all?

I was at fence 22 when Joe Meyer's Black Andy came and fell. It was a very nasty fall, but thankfully both got up and walked away, although the horse's right shoulder looked a bit stiff. He was able to walk back to the stables, though. I knew Joe was going to withdraw today - his legs were stuck under the horse for about 10 seconds. Ouch!

Joe also looked like he got kicked in almost the wrong place form the tv angle yesterday

BBC didn't show MR's fall so really hope she's ok

As per Matt Ryan's website:

[ QUOTE ]
Marie’s a bit sore but is fine after her fall. The horse is fine but also a bit sore. He picked up some grazes early on dropping his back legs down a ditch at the Discovery so she’s not happy in general. The horse wasn’t going anywhere, he’s got to be going much stronger, more forward to be doing 4*. At this stage we’re not going to jump to any conclusions as to why he didn’t perform, the going was a bit heavy but he wasn’t going from the very beginning.
