I had Gaby on the phone to me in tears this morning. There are some wicked, wicked people around.
Gaby went on to Google because someone had told her there was a lovely picture of Roscoe at Belton. She went to find a stunning picture of her horse, and instead she found this. We were both in tears. It is a horrific situation for anyone, let alone a twenty one year old who has got her horse to that level herself. Roscoe had done a couple of Novice's when Gaby bought him. She is obviously a talented and sensitive and caring jockey to have got a horse so quirky to that level.
Gaby has asked me to post, she isn't sure what, but she wants something said.
He jumped the best he ever had on Saturday evening at home, and in the ring on Sunday. Gaby was so pleased with him. He had check up scans every time he ran and the vet was commenting only last week what a tough, sound horse he was. What happened was a freak accident. There was a strike mark on his boots, the poor boy only overreached. He could have done that at Badminton, or Tweseldown, or in the school, or in the field. There is nothing Gaby could have done. I can guarentee that the attention to detail on Gaby's yard, and to her horses, is second to none. They are all in impeccable condition, and loved as much as possible - whether they are owned by Gaby or an owner. At Tweseldown, you couldn't have said anything other than Roscoe loved his job, and that Gaby loved doing it with him.
To all the well wishers who have sent their condolences - thank you. Gaby and her parents appreciate it.
To the others - I hope you are happy.
