Horse fall at one of the fences before a water

Could someone tell me what happened to Austin and Kilpatrick Knight?

He fell at Fence 13a. They showed him on the tv - both horse and rider looked ok.

 

[Scoti1420]

Come on Nicola!

 

[Honey08]

She's got her hands full!

 

[Northern Hare]

Good luck Nicola - her mare looks on great form but Nicola looks like she's got her hands full!

 

[Honey08]

Bulana's on a mission!

 

[caladria]

Yeeeessssssss!!!

 

[Honey08]

Blummin wonderful Xc! Well done ladies. Mr Bartle has waved his magic wand, hope he does tomorrow too!

 

[teapot]

Two sj in hand overnight between GB and Germany. Get in :biggrin3:

 

[Northern Hare]

What an amazing day for TeamGB - well done to them all!

Who else started today with a whole long list of things to do, but have been glued to the XC coverage instead!??

 

[Honey08]

Jung is making Bulana's round look steady!

 

[caladria]

Michael Jung... just no words.

 

[Scoti1420]

The consistency of Jung. Don't think I've ever seen his horses look tired at the end of a round. Rocana looked like she had another go in her!

Team GB have had a smashing day! Super proud. Hope they can keep it together tomorrow.

 

[pepsimaxrock]

So exciting. Britain has done brilliantly. Michael Jung is absolutely incredible. Bring on tomorrow xxx

 

[conniegirl]

has anyone heard anything official about the horse who had the nasty fall?

 

[Honey08]

A good finish from Sweden. Just pushed Nicola down to 4th.

Here's to some good British showjumping tomorrow please. I'm off to Somerford to watch their XC, so won't be watching. Hopefully they'll shout out results on the tannoy!

Another question -
Will they have driven to Poland?

 

[teapot]

Yes to driven to Poland - saw an Instagram post go past by Nicola Wilson's groom at one of their stopping points.

FEI and Harry Meade saying horse up and taken to vet clinic on site

Yes they will have driven to Poland - well Vittoria did for sure - did anyone get more of her round than the 5 odd fences they showed on the TV coverage? I'm guessing she had a stop or run out?

only what was just on the commentary - horse was cooled aggressively while lying down and then got up and was taken to onsite Vet centre.

 

[caladria]

has anyone heard anything official about the horse who had the nasty fall?

BBC commentary have just said that he was down for a long time behind screens, but got up and was taken onsite vet clinic for further assessment. Others are saying off of non-public sources that he's broken a leg. Nothing official yet.

Didn't see any more but the live scoring showed a refusal or run out at fence 28b, tantalisingly close to home
