Was expected I think, still such a shame. Seemed like a talented horse, and to jump for Amy in that state - so honest.

 

[Weezy]

Just read AT's statement - still no *sorry*

 

[BBs]

Very sad. RIP

 

[RLF]

Poor horse

 

[Fahrenheit]

Such a sad and unnecessary loss of a very honest brave and talented horse. RIP.

I hope Amy does not get away with this.

poor poor horse, he didn't deserve to go like that

 

[TGM]

Very sad indeed

[Hemirjtm]

very sad...i hope Amy gets what she deserves! No rider, let alone that high up would/should let thei horse jump or even carry on cantering like that. I really think she needs to e-think what she has done and say sorry. There wasn't even a sorry in her statement! Even a beginner would have felt that horse when it was lame.....surely she would have?

So sad, poor horse RIP

Good god, it brings home just how severe his injury was.

Without a doubt, he's now in a better place. RIP.

 

[buffy2]

Very sad.R.I.P.

 

[spaniel]

I think a lot of us knew this was coming, it doesnt make it any less sad.

We can only hope that justice is done for him.

 

[PapaFrita]

Poor horse

If anyone deserved to spend the rest of his life in field it was him.

 

[Tia]

I guess this outcome was inevitable - still very sad though. Will this be her crucified now??

 

[Fairynuff]

until the next one comes along !

 

[JM07]

Not surprising really

[helenandshadow]

That's so sad, RIP.

Well clearly not or she would have pulled up, and she doesn't even say she's sorry. Surely any rider, especially a professional, would have felt he was very lame. How did she think he would have been sound enough to SJ the next day anyway?
If she had pulled up straight away it might not have come to this.

 

[airedale]

well said

in the USA it's not illegal to PTS murderers - unfortuneately the victim has to be human and not equine or ms tryon would be deep in the [****]

poor horse
very very sad

 

[wonkey_donkey]

I havent seen the incident that led up to the horse's terrible break-down so cannot comment on whether the rider was totally at fault or just running on adrealin (sp) but perhaps she's been advised not to say too much at this time and particularly not to say sorry??
A bad time for competion horses this week if you include the 2 at Badminton today.

 

[airedale]

at least the injured horses at badders were pulled up immediately. The haemorrage could not be predicted.

I hope AT was watching TV coverage so she could see what she should have done for LeS. instead of what she did.

I thought exactly the same.

At least they have done the decent thing in the end and not prolonged the poor horses suffering.

I hope she gets what she deserves for justice to that poor horse

RIP

 

[Skhosu]

very sad day today with all these wonderful animals losing their lives.

 

[wizzi901]

she will have been advised not to say sorry as it would in part admit her liability....bit like industrial incidents, and a workplace not paying someone sick leave! - by paying you admit liability! (unless its painfully obvious the workplace IS at fault).

God this woman does grate instantly doesnt she...

 

[Weezy]

Couldn't she have at least said something like - "I am so sorry this tragedy happened" ?

 

[TarrSteps]

Not in the US, she couldn't. They are the nation state of litigation.
