5:50pm Update: The FEI just issued a press release that just says that Iman du Golfe, the Italian horse we reported as having cut his shoulder in a fall at fence 20, was transported to Rood and Riddle equine hospital. It also mentions that the rider was taken to the hospital. From everything I hear both horse and rider will be fine and the horse just needs stitches for a bad cut. We’ll have more info in our XC recap post soon.
It was a tremendous cross-country day on Saturday with huge changes to the team and individual standings. The live scoring system was an extremely frustrating format so here are the results and links to full results. We will have a full recap soon, photos from Leslie, and more information on the injured Italian horse soon so stay tuned.
