This week’s quiz question was Kristin Schmolze and Cavaldi. Unfortunately EN Karma did not come through this time and the pair has withdrawn from Badminton this morning according to the Badminton official Twitter account. Hopefully they can re-route to another event this spring.
Congratulations to everyone who guessed them correctly, I know we have a lot of Kristin and Cavaldi fans on EN, but an even bigger congratulations to the person who suggested it might be ‘Will Coleman’, cracked me up!
Wishing them both the very best of luck. Go Eventing!
Update: Kristin emailed the following information in a newsletter Wednesday afternoon as part of her thanks to her supporters. The good news is that Joey will be fine.
“…The day that Joey, (Cavaldi), was meant to fly to England. We had done our last gallop the day before and he was iced and wrapped in our usual manner, but Sunday morning there was swelling in a front leg. We already had an appointment with Dr. Staller bright and early to do our final check before leaving and to run IV fluids to keep Joey hydrated for his trip.
Unfortunately, the swelling is a strain to his suspensory ligament that became painful overnight. In the long run, Joey should recover just fine, but right now, there is nothing anyone could do to quickly turn this around and make him better in such a short time. It is in Joey’s best interest to rest his leg right now for a short period and come up with Plan B!
This breaks my heart, as you can imagine, not only for Joey, and our quest to fulfill this dream, but because of the support of everyone behind me. I’m so very sorry on the timing of this, I know we all are. But, there will be another day, another event – and Joey, most importantly, will be okay!…”
