Just heard that a well known irish eventer was killed today at an event, thornley or something like that? Really sad and thoughts are with the family.

That's awful

Poor rider... I don't know whether you could ever get over something like that! I know I would find it very hard. It happened to my trainer a few years ago and she still talks about it now.

Do you know which horse it was?

 

[Skhosu]

It wasnt the horse, it was the rider!

Don't know who she was riding. think the event might have been called thirlestown or something?

 

[teapot]

Thirlestane?

 

[Skhosu]

I think so.

 

[Iestyn]

Thirlestane? What was the name of the rider?

 

[Peanot]

How horrible for all concerned.
