I had the pleasure of working with the Opening Ceremony production with the horses (I personally worked with the Culver Black horse troop), but I’ve had a few run in’s with Eitan. What an incredible, sweet, genuine man. I just spoke to my friend who worked directly with Eitan, and she said she spoke to his wife and he is stable. I’ve asked her to keep me updated, and she said she’ll let me know if she hears anything… and I will gladly pass on the information to you all.
Everyone please keep Eitan in your prayers, jingles, hopes, etc. He is a wonderful man, had an amazing performance, and lets hope for a quick & safe recovery !
I believe that you’re referring to one of the Culver horses (if you’re referring to the horse bucking and throwing a little excited-ness in the middle of the arena during the Mardi gras portion of the ceremony). He was just a bit excited from the atmosphere, he was a little antsy in the entry way. This was the largest event that these kids have ever done, and the horse was just a bit excited/nervous. Both horse & rider were fine upon leaving the ring.
