[MummyEms]

Just seen a serious incident has put a stop to the event. Anyone know what's happened???

I just saw this and came on here to find out what it was! I hope everyone involved is okay

 

[Jinx94]

We probably ought to wait until there's been an official statement. If info isn't being shared now, it's for a very good reason x

 

[teapot]

There are strict rules re BE comms when it comes to incidents - always best to wait for the official statement as @Jinx94 says.

 

[MummyEms]

Worrying xx

 

[myheartinahoofbeat]

so worrying, hope everyone and their horses is ok.
Looking at the Aston scores, the Be100 and BE90 didn’t complete

 

[MummyEms]

Oh gosh. Am air lift to hospital after a bad xc fall. Prayers sent to all involved

 

[southerncomfort]

Would they normally abandon after a fall?

Genuine question, I don't know what the done thing is.

 

[teapot]

Can we not post comments from a random fb group - it's no one's but BE/Aston to publicly announce frankly.

 

[Patterdale]

I get that it is tempting to speculate, because we all just want confirmation that it’s not the worst….but really people - don’t speculate openly online about these things.

Sadly an update this morning that Sarah Yorke died after a fall at fence 3. Her horse was walked back to the stable unharmed.

Thoughts and condolences to all those who loved Sarah.

I knew Sarah, such a horrible shock

 

[SEL]

That's awful - I feel for her family.

I had an awful feeling it was a fatality but always, always hope for better news. So sad.

 

[humblepie]

Desperately sad news and condolences to all her friends and family and thoughts with the team at Aston and the emergency services.

Condolences to Sarah’s family, friends and the team at Aston

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Such an awful shock for all involved.
Condolences to everyone who knew her.

The news none of us wanted to hear.
Condolences to Sarah's family and friends.

 

[daffy44]

Such a tragedy, huge condolences to her family, friends and everyone involved in the incident.
I live quite near Aston, and I knew they had an event yesterday as I had a client competing. I also saw the air ambulance overhead, but stupidly I didn't make a connection, I just assumed it was going to a motorway accident.

 

[Kadastorm]

Heart breaking news. She has a young daughter too my thoughts are with her family, friends, the team at Aston le walls and anyone affected.

 

[Hormonal Filly]

Extremely sad news. Thinking of all of her family and friends

 

[meandmyself]

Absolutely awful.

 

[Traks]

So so terribly sad.

Utter morons commenting on the news articles around this on pages like the mirror, daily mail etc. So shameful, I do hope the family and friends of Sarah do not see them online x
