10/23: All of us who have enjoyed watching Jennie Brannigan and Cooper over the past several years need to step up and help cover the cost of Cooper's two surgeries and lengthy recovery. To learn more, go here. Eventing Nation is donating our very first sponsorship funds (from our live blog with Boyd) to Cooper's cause. I received a text from Jennie today thanking all of you (our readers) for your incredible support over the past few days. Please make Eventing Nation's presence felt with a tax deductible donation.
10/21: --UPDATE: CLICK *HERE* for Jennie's Blog Post about the whole incident and both surgeries.--
10/20: The full Cooper story: "Cooper suffered a injury to his tendon when he crashed into a jump in the showjump at fairhill. He was jumping around great and got distracted when spooking on the approach at a xc fence in the ring. He was in surgery that evening to repair his tendon and has a shot to one day come back. Unfortunatley Cooper is currently colicing and under going surgery. I am not a sercretive person and would rather everyone know the truth. I love Cooper and am devastated but hope he comes out alright. Pray for him for me. He's given me everything and I know it and appreciate him more than comprehendable." This was published on Jennie Brannigan's Facebook status at about 7:00pm. She announced at about 6:40pm that "Cooper is having colic surgery now. Poor pony..... Keep your fingers crossed for him."
Eventing Nation covered the incident in our Fair Hill CCI3* Recap. Phillip uses one of the best vets in Eventing, and I know Cooper is in great hands. All of Eventing Nation is praying for you Cooper and Jennie.
