Pretty much. Horse wasn't ready for a four-star, rider takes him there anyway, runs his ass downhill at a jump-through fence (which he is known to be balky at), he gets a bad spot b/c of it, hooks his forelegs and flips, breaks his neck etc.


Exactly, why would you run a horse in that level of event when she said herself that he has a tendancy to 'duck' whn there's an overhang!?!?
Hello issue we need to work on, rather than, hell lets shove him in a 4* (it was a 4* wasn't it? or has my memory gone) and see how he copes.
