Holy *****, how tragic. Although not someone I know, friends of mine were there today and I dare say they'd know her, makes it feel all too close to home. Do you know what happened?

Thoughts are with family and connections, RIP

 

[kerilli]

Absolutely tragic.

How awful - rest in peace

I dont know the details, i think they only managed to run two teams around the open, the first team lost a horse and the second team poor Jo. She was airlifted off but that is all i know at this stage. The open was then cancelled.

Very, very sad.

Had friends there today hoping to run in the open, must be terrible for Jo's friends, family and fellow team members

RIP Jo. A tragic and horrific thing for her family, friends and team mates.

I was there, the ground was good and running was fast. Open was cancelled after the first teams had accidents. We heard they cancelled it out of respect.

Such a loss to the equine world.

We saw the fall today. Unfortunately it was one of those tragic things, it was over probably one of the most straightforward fences on the course, but it was a heavy fall.

Such a sad, sad thing to happen. Sleep tight Jo and all my thoughts are with her family, friends and fellow RoR team mates. xx
