Nipped off to the yard, came back and this is not what I wanted to hear. How tragic, poor Cavvy and Mary.
What a horrible day this has turned into - I hope they never run it again.

 

[welshchick]

[eventrider23]

[Haniki]

What tragic news, poor Mary and poor owners.
R.I.P. Cavvy.

Poor Mary and the horse's connections, I'm sure none of them would ever have imagined such a potentially exciting day would end as a tragedy.
I recall reading her saying she felt this was the best potential horse she'd ever had, so doubly sad for her.
What a shame such an exciting concept has ended like this.
My sincere sympathies to anyone involved with the horse, there's nothing so sad as seeing an empty stable when you lose one..

I really cant believe this poor poor Mary- this is not what eventings about. I'm afraid no course should cause this much carnage- 4* horses and people like Toddy getting eliminated is ridiculous. I felt uncomfortable enough watching the Britsh Open xc/sj thing- xc is not designed to be ridden indoors. I just hope Cavy pulls through..- updated - just read the news R.I.P Cavy you were a joy to watch.

[*hic*]

The utter anguish in Mary's posture.

RIP Cavvy - free of pain. For your team the pain will be very strong and awful.

 

[moogrrr]

they are on one of the posts on the page before this one - i think you can link to them via Teapot post on this page.

 

[lauraanddolly]

RIP Cavvy. He was a star and will be missed. I just looked at the pictures too and wish I hadn't.
Thoughts go out to all those connected to him x

 

[Walrus]

Those photos are heartbreaking. Sincere condolances to Mary and all associated with her and Cavvy.

 

[Skhosu]

I am so devestated ..it sounds horrendous and how gutting for mary, what a fantastic horse

 

[Eira]

So very sad

Her face when she turned to him will haunt me for a while

I'm so so gutted for her and all connections

 

[Daffodil]

I'm too stunned to say anything
RIP Cavvy, and condolences to Mary and all connections.

 

[MissDeMeena]

RIP Cavy

I hear it happened at a double of corners, he banked the second corner and fell/tripped on landing, it was a very obvious break, as the leg was swinging

Oli i'm told put in an amazing performance and deserved to win, his music and dressage were spot on, and he jumped an amazing round XC

Lucy got slated for her choice of music (i don't know what it was) which was very odd, as someone else had almost the same music, and got good marks for it..

It defo wasn't a dressage comp. (although i'm told Oli's dressage was spot on)

There were no clear rounds in the SJing.
Both Oli and Lucy went clear XC, i don't know who/if anyone else did..

Austin O'Connor was another to go wrong, in the SJing phase..

 

[Murphy88]

oh how awful, I'm now in tears.
RIP cavvy, my heart goes out to his poor owners and Mary.

 

[morgan4eva]
