[Coffee_Bean]

can't believe it, i turned round when the french horse injured itself, completely missed it!!

 

[asbo]

your lucky you did

 

[Coffee_Bean]

why, what happened?

 

[Thistle]

Not looking good

 

[moon_drop]

not looking good it taking to long

 

[Rachel_M]

Took the flag out over the vicarage Vee and it cut him- you could see the blood over his back legs.

 

[BroadfordQueen]

you could see it squirting out, but BBC where quick to change the camera as it really wasnt a pretty sight!

 

[asbo]

blood was just running out of it

i am sprinking like mad for horsey

 

[StrawberryFish]

I thought it was sand at first caught on his belly, but thwn I saw his back legs
An artery is a massive thing to stem the blood flow, fingers crossed the wait is just because they don't want to move the horse too soon and not the worst case scenario.

 

[Thistle]

I suppose it will take longer to stem the flow as the heart is working hard from the competition. Fingers crossed for him.

 

[burtie]

hopefully the fact it is taking long is a good sign.

 

[StrawberryFish]

And on his beely is a hard place to secure a pressure bandage - especially on a horse already pumping with adrenaline.

*belly

 

[StrawberryFish]

have the screens come down?
looked like it

 

[asbo]

stabilised

 

[Rachel_M]

Looks like he is going to be allright

 

[Mooch]

Sounds like they have stabalised (sp) him now and will move him soon.

I feel for the poor guy that is waiting to restart too. Must be so hard for them both.

 

[StrawberryFish]

I thought I saw the trailer move about 5 minutes ago...

Looks like it is good news.

I feel for Jonty - must be a real difficult situation - worrying about what has happened ahead and also what you are going to do to switch your horse back on

 

[iamlovingmyjob]

they have just said he is stable and off to the hospital

 

[conniegirl]

horse is fine apparently, just took a bit of time stopping the bleeding

 

[StrawberryFish]

Quinze kilometre away! lol

that's 15 non?

 

[kcourtil]

good news about french horsie

 

[BroadfordQueen]

than heavens!

 

[StrawberryFish]

here we go....!

Hope Jonty makes it round after the wait

 

[asbo]

glad he is being moved & still thinking about him

 

[asbo]
