Very sad news. What is going on there ??

That’s horrible. He was just featured in an article in last month’s magazine, highlighting him as a U.S. (California)-bred showjumper.

Figured it was OK to post that since it was a public Facebook post.

It’s so ridiculous that 24/7 digital and social media has made this kind of statement necessary in the immediate aftermath of this tragedy. It’s not like it was a on-course catastrophic injury. He very well may have collapsed at the very same moment if he were out in a field at home. Let these poor people who just lost a medal winning horse immediately after the ride mourn in peace without the armchair quarterbacks dissecting every single moment.
