We have just gotten word that Hilda Donahue’s 17hh gelding Extravagance was put down during the CIC3* cross-country at the Poplar Place HT in Georgia. Extravagance reportedly jumped through the main Poplar water complex and landed off of the final element visibly injured. The vets responded within seconds and Extravagance was euthanized at the scene due to what eyewitnesses described as a broken leg just above the hock. The hold lasted less than 30 minutes and the cross-country is back underway. The final element of the water complex was a bank up and then a bounce over a boat and then a right turn to the rest of the course. Eventing Nation’s thoughts and prayers are with Hilda and her family.
