We’re saddened to report that the nine-year-old mare Daiquiri has been euthanised following a horse fall at fence seven on Bicton’s CCI3*-L course last Saturday, 27 May. Her rider, 21-year-old Zazie Gardeau, was transported by air ambulance to Derriford Hospital, where her condition is currently reported to be “stable”.

A statement by the French Equestrian Federation confirms that Zazie, who became the Young Rider European Champion last season, is being well looked after, with the English medical team at the hospital working in collaboration with French doctors.

Zazie is currently at the tail end of a six-month stint based in the UK, where she’s been training with Andrew Nicholson while also undergoing a semester of study at the University of Bath, studying biological engineering.

Our thoughts are with Zazie, her family, and her connections at this time. We will bring you further updates on her recovery in due course.
