Mary and Cavvy remembered

So, so sorry to hear the news from EE. Have always loved watching Mary & Cavvy & stayed up all night to see them live XC at Beijing Olympics. A partnership that gave so much enjoyment to all. My thoughts are with all concerned x
 
RIP Cavvy, so sad. Saw them at your horse live, amazing horse

What beautiful pictures, was too upset to post yesterday and still can't believe it today.

My heart goes out to Mary, such an inspirational lady, like many have a real soft spot for Mary. I hope her pain is short lived and we'll all see her usual warm smile again soon. Sympathies to Mary and all her connections at this sad time.

Call Again Cavalier, what a horse, what a partnership, taken too soon like so many others. Rest in peace and I'm sure you were met by the friendly face of another special lady.
 
I've only just found out and am so upset. Its a struggle to focus on work now. Poor Cavvy and what a terrible thing to happen to such a wonderful horse.
My thoughts are with Mary and his owners.
 
Was there with friends and it was a horrid fall - the horse had gone really well up to that fence unlike most of the others. Poor, poor Mary and her owners, I can't imagine how they feel today. <font color="green"> </font>
 
Don't worry BrandyButterDragon so was I. My thoughts go out to Mary at such a sad time. Frankie (my piebald) would like to send Mary nuzzles and neighs and hopes Cavvy will RIP.
 
Am so terribly terribly gutted for Mary CAC and all his connections, what an awful shame

Was in tears last night when I heard and am still so so shocked, RIP handsome boy xxxx
 
RIP cavvy you will always be remembered babe
i kind of know the owners so i can't imagine what they must be feeling as they also lost one of thier showjumpers in april
 
Lovely pic Lucretia!

My first memories of him were back in 01 at Saumur when he came charging through the finish with Vicky complete with a bleeding nose due to his exuberant jump XC.

RIP xx

lovely pics. thankyou.
i looked at the others and tbh he is standing there calmly, the adrenalin would probably have meant that he wasn't in pain.
(i found a friend's horse in the field years ago with a broken back leg and it happily stood there munching hay while i rang the vet etc. i looked into its eyes and they showed no distress or worry at all.) it is very easy to anthropomorphise horses too much, especially in such a situation.
RIP wonderful Cavvy.

I understand this - I have seen a pony with two broken legs try to canter away

he just couldn't feel the pain because he was high on adrenaline!! It's just so upsetting to see a horse in that state.

RIP Cav
 
I haven't been able to stop thinking about this all day. Such a shame and a real loss of a beautiful and talented athlete. He'll be missed by many. My thoughts to Mary and those connected.
All I can say is not to think of that awful moment but remember the wonderful 16 years he enjoyed.
RIP Cavvy
 
Me too, I'm struggling to stop thinking about this. I saw their fall - it was awful

However, let's be glad that he was very successful and gave us a lot of wonderful memories.
 
Sorry to be late , but I've been on holiday . I was shocked &amp; deeply saddened to read today of the loss of this fantastic horse .

Sympathies to all concerned - I feel terrible so what his connections are going through I can't bear to think .
 
This is myfirst time using this forum - I do so as I wanted to read the comments and thoughts re Mary &amp; Cavi. I have been lucky enough to have met Mary on a few occasions when she was riding her great King William. She is the most wonderful inspiration, her ability to get up and dust herself down is just amazing, a truely lovely lady. My heart felt thoughts are with her and all concerned....my two year old son will miss Cavi he cheered him &amp; Mary her on very loudly in Hong Kong. For Cavi - good night god bless and when we hear the thunder in the sky we'll no it's you and all the other loved horses galloping freely....xxxxxxxxxxxx
