Well over here they're waiting to hear from the team vet and find out exactly what happened. Would wait as I'm not sure about the commentators being really privy to the info !

Did anyone else notice the upset behavior from Dhennin after his ride.? I wondered at the time, why? 42.8 was not that bad.
And there were the drug testers putting paper in his face just like they did to Tina Cook.
Loved it when she said, "You do pick your moments". Had not caught her breath after the Brits best test of the day. Must be a hateful job to do that. Probably volunteers but Still!

according to eventingworldwide, "Galan de Sauvagere had fallen in his box during a storm and damaged his stifle."
no mention of a lungeing incident.
not that it matters, it is still such a disappointment, poor Nico.

kerilli, the stall fall is what FFE stated in a news conference in Hong Kong.
Nico's number ONE fan, a girl named Shechou is in HK and was in the stands. Her description is, well read it: (Google translates from her Skyrock blog)
"Dur dur,
10 minutes before its [Galan's departure] time that the french are cuckoo with the flag, everyone smiling, everyone is happy
5 minutes before[later?] the atmosphere that tends nobody grizou [goes on] the track on 10 minutes but pert hope
0 min, Galan not arrive, the part of staff in the stands behind [me on] the phone, faces close, the tears come ... I track it from afar, I descended to change go to the new platform, also in tears ...
15 - 20 minute after I rejoinds the girlfriend of Nicolas who do not know more than me, it's hard cash but ....
ALL REMAINING WITH THE THREE! [team members]
My ti Nico, I think tres tres fort you, I wish you full of courage and hope that your cranky [horse] will more quickly [gets well soon?]"
Very hard for the granfan too.

I don't believe for one minute they're telling the truth about Galan's "problem"...
Sorry, can't buy the stall fall.
What already happened with Espoir (Jean Teulere's horse) being withdrawn knowing about his sprain BEFORE flying to HK is just an indication that something in the management of the team is JUST TERRIBLY WRONG
Nevertheless,I hope the 3 "survivors" give it their best (they have nothing to lose !) and redeem the team with, not medals, but with genuinely good riding

Gutted for him as he's got some serious talant. But after reading the news about what's happened at Hartpury, it all gets put into perspective doesn't it?
