Read this in NL.

Very sad he looked really promising but its dreadful to lose any horse at such a young age.

No. This was a very promising 5yrs old.

Ooh ok, I wasn't sure who either horses were. I don't really follow show jumping (not enough on tv)

How awful for him

it's bad enough losing an old horse, who's done it's job and had the chance to really live...but to lose such a young thing...he must be distraught.
