I was going to ask the exact same thing. Hope all is well, but such a long hold doesn't usually spell good news.

Heard commentator in the background say 'horse has now got to it's feet and is going to be transported .....' that was it so fingers crossed.

I found out what happened. This is from an eventing news website:
"Juan Carlos Garcia and Iman du Golfe of Italy had a fall at fence #20, a large right handed corner. Juan appeared to be fine Iman du Golfe was transported in the horse ambulance, reportedly from a laceration on his left shoulder. Juan looked like he was trying to clear something from his eye on the gallop before the fence. The horse impacted the corner but remained on his feet and ran off of the television view. Juan remained on the ground for a few moments before getting to his feet. Tarps were put around the horse about 20 strides away from the fence, but the horse remained standing and eyewitnesses reported that he had a cut on his left shoulder. Word is that the horse walked into the trailer with a bandage on his shoulder and remained standing for the transport. The very best veterinarians in the entire world are treating the horses this weekend and Iman du Golfe is in the best of hands. Our prayers for a quick recovery are with Iman du Golfe. At the time of the fall, Phillip and Woodburn were a few moments from starting on course, and Geoff Curran and The Jump Jet were held on course for over 20 minutes. "
Here's hoping the horse is 100% again in no time.

The horse is reported to be resting comfotably haveing had a laceration sutered. I believe the horse was bleeding profusely from around the elbow area and he had to be stabilised before he could be loaded. The horse has been xrayed and there is no fracture only a small chip off one elbow. it was a very horrible fall.
