That horse had no business still being out there. None.

The horse was tired.

Hold on course. :worried:

Not the first time Maxine has ridden home on a horse so exhausted that it was scary. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Hold on course. I hope to god that horse isn’t dead.

Not a single horse fall at Ky and how many here?

No wonder some riders don’t want to bring their horses here. Good horses are being punished to the point of falling. That’s not OK.

Apparently Maxime’s horse is still down :confounded:

Really just a mirror of Elisa Wallace at Burghley. I knew the horse was going to fall three fences back.

The horse’s physical reaction to crashing made me sick to my stomach. That reaction was horrifying.

I don’t want to speculate too much but from what I say there was the tell tale shakes of a dying horse. Hope it was just shock.

That’s what I saw as well. Hope we’re wrong.

It looked to me that it might have broken its neck.

Same thought. I missed some of their round but when they showed them coming under that ā€œtunnelā€ I said to DH that horse is swimming nit running he shouldn’t be out there

I had the same thought watching them approach, bad flashbacks.

It’s very feast or famine. Beautiful rides or bad falls. Horses definitely punished for mistakes.

I thought the same when I saw Ashlynn Meuchel’s fall at KY. Really thought we saw fatal fall.

Everyone was blasted in the KY thread for speculating about Emporium. But it’s OK now. :thinking:

I was wrong about the grey last week, which I’m delighted about. I don’t see how we’re wrong on this one.
