William Fox Pitt - bad fall

Also waiting on news of mr fox Pitt takes a lot to put him on the floor. I did see his x country round and the horse never really was going. The fact that there was an hours old on course is worrying hopefully it's just precautionary
 
Another up date on twitter. Has head trauma, but otherwise fine. Being kept in for observation.

Thank heavens he's ok.
 
Oh i hope he is ok. He's such a fantastic guy. An hours hold in course is never good :/

When I heard it was at the owl hole i had a horrible image in my head of the horse going through the hole but wfp getting left behind as so tall!!
 
Cross fingers that the 'hour's hold' was the time it took to fix the fence instead. Although I guess they would have been 100% careful about moving him to soon if he had knocked himself out for a bit.
