horse that just glanced off the vicarage vee....

[georgiegirl2]

Did anyone see the blood pouring out of him as he landed? bbc quickly panned to another shot but it almost looked arterial the way is was pumping out. Badminton certainly isnt running smoothly at all this year....

 

[paintsplat05]

yup but at least he pulled up quickly, not like Miss Tryon!

 

[georgiegirl2]

my thoughts exactly!

 

[BroadfordQueen]

yeah i saw that, was really pumping out... fingers crossed for the horse

 

[Folara]

Yeah just saw it and waiting to see if its ok. I really hope so. Rider pulled up very quickly thank god.

 

[paintsplat05]

horse ambulance is there!

 

[BroadfordQueen]

popped an artery...pretty obvious from the blood really gushing out!

 

[Folara]

popped an artury(sp) apparently. Hard for the rider being held up.

 

[georgiegirl2]

mike tucker has just confirmed its an arterial cut.....I sincerely hope they are able to stop the bleed

 

[CastleMouse]

Poor lad

Fingers crossed for him x Badminton is not going well this year

 

[clipertyplop]

watching that has just made me phyisicly sick poor horse !!!!!!!!!!

 

[Solstar]

badders is not running very well this year is it?

 

[asbo]

i hope they can stop it asap

 

[BroadfordQueen]

apparently it "doesn't look good"...

 

[conniegirl]

Arterial bleeding isnt that serious if you can get pressure on it fast. I had a horse slice one in the field when it got kicked by anouther horse, i saw it happen and used my jumper to get pressure on it whilst i got it onto the yard. The yard looked like an abitoir as the arab was doing his I'm dieing routine and whislting round our ears. Horses have alot of blood in them If you can stop the bleeding and keep it stopped it should hopefully be fine

 

[Kristine]

They have just said its not looking good

please not another horse going to die!

 

[StrawberryFish]

He's fine!

 

[jordenknight]

he fine, gone to walsely vet centre. he is ;stable'

 

[marshmallow]

Not been confirmed yet but whispers are that he was pts due to loss of blood, what a horrible day I wish I had not watched, I think the organisers have a lot of questions to answer!

Apparently a french rider has died on a xc in Paris today as well, what a day to remember.

 

[Patches]

Oh no! I noticed he wasn't standing in the back of the horse ambulance (well I couldn't see his head) but wondered if he was heavily sedated.

Let's hope it's only a whisper and not fact.

 

[georgiegirl2]

clare balding has just said so far its looking good for the french horse although to be honest I wasnt all that convinced she knew what was going on with it. fingers crossed hes ok

 

[marshmallow]

the bbc is reporting that he is ok so hopefully the whispers are wrong, they are repoting him gone on the badders chat room site.

[Rachel_M]

Yes, I do wonder sometimes whether they just think it up from the top of the head.


I hope that he will make a recovery.

mmmm i was think something like that

it will teach me to go in to other forums

think I'll stay here from now on !!!!

 

[MagicMelon]

Yeah, that was pretty horrendous seeing blood pouring out like that. The vets did an amazing job just to make him "stable". Lets home he makes a full recovery.

 

[limerick2]

has been PTS

 

[spike123]

Sadly they have just announced he died at the veterinary hospital.

 

[The Virgin Dubble]

It's just been announced that he's died...

 

[StrawberryFish]

He has died

Such a shame - I really thought they had saved him

I expect with the position it was - it just wouldn't heal or clot
