Crikey. Both horse and rider very lucky! Another fence that could do with clips.

I think she's removed it, I saw it this morning. It was a pretty bad rotational fall at a drop/rail where she was thankfully thrown clear. Have to admit the photos made me feel a bit sick, no fault on the horse or riders part it was just a freak accident and she said the horse was unhurt and she wasn't seriously injured (but aggravated an old injury she now needs surgery on) but these 5* riders are another breed as I'm not sure I could look back on that and feel so relaxed about it, especially after the last serious rotational fall she had a few years back. I know it's just a risk of the sport but wow, to have that much grit and determination, she is insanely resilient

Looks like she changed her mind or had been asked to remove it. The pics showed her nasty rotational fall during a cross-country schooling session a few weeks ago, and although she was thankfully thrown clear, she unfortunately re-dislocated her shoulder and now needs an op on it. She's now shared a story about it without the pics.

Yeah, the pictures weren’t pleasant viewing. I’m not sure I’d want to see my horse in that position on my feed every day.

She did say she’d be missing the beginning of the evening season due to the operation, so I’d think that will include badminton?
It’s warming up to be a rocky season already, what with Laura’s fall, Izzy Taylor’s broken leg and poor Louisa Milne Home’s horrible fall.

I'm pleased it was removed. Made me feel quite sick.

 

[Marshpiper]

Glad I didn’t see that, her Facebook post says it was the low lying sun…..

Well I was due to go to Kentucky as bucket list but cancelled as not putting money into Trumps economy. Unfortunately event tickets are non refundable and Kentucky have been useless at responding to any of my messages offering them the spaces back so am guessing it's not full and my lovely dressage and show jumping seats will sadly remain empty.

Oh no I can't believe you cancelled . Sport is sport it should not be political. Kentucky is a lovely event and so is/was Maryland.

More to do with my fall. Can't fly for that long.

Now that is a sad but understandable reason to not be able to go.

Delighted to see such a strong Irish field. My neighbour and coach Mike Ryan back at 5* level and a very good friend Alice Copithorn also riding with my mares half sister!
Flights over are relatively cheap but cant find anywhere to stay for the weekend

Have you tried Bristol? We usually drive and stay there but have gotten lease car too at the airport.

That's a lot of pressure on Ros. I'm hoping for a Harry win this year.

I too would love to see Harry win!
