Oh, NO! That's so sad. Mr. Z got me watching dressage in Europe, where it's quite popular and I got pretty good at recognizing a really good horse and rider, etc. I didn't know you are into this..it's a fabulous thing..SO beautiful to watch as I'd hold my breath during their whole routines praying nothing went wrong.
The Danes are really good, aren't they..Germans, too.
This is truly heartbreaking. I feel so badly for the owner/trainer/rider!
Z-so glad you were able to enjoy great Dressage tests-(rides) w/ Mr Z--
few people know the difficulty of training for and riding such tests--
