Aww, that is so sad. Was it all rider error?


Yeah. But worse, once Laine woke up, she made a media spectacle of herself, going on about how crappy it was that her silly horsie couldnt get his knees up in time so she had to miss the Olympics. Left a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths. She's not the first rider to lose a horse on course, nor the first to lose one to their own riding error, but she is the first one I know of that showed such a complete lack of responsibility and blamed the horse (cardinal sin of good horsemanship).
