Here are more photos from that sequence of The Good Witch's fall. You know that she and Jennifer Wooten-Dafoe are close and trust each other. As soon as "Pooh," as she's called, stood up, her entire demeanor displayed her opinion that Jennifer was supposed to take care of her. She stood perfectly still, but you could tell she was annoyed. She kicked her back hooves into the soil, without taking any steps, because she was mad about her slipped boots. And she waited for her mom to decide what to do.
The news reported that thought she was taken by ambulance, she was fine. She earned 7th last year at Rolex, so this fall was disappointing. But the news was that she just bumped her knee on a mis-step. I *saw* that bump. Even as she jumped at the Double Diamonds, I saw that she dropped a leg and it got caught on the fence and she rolled on over her dropped leg. But what a champion girl. She was wonderful in the way she stood up and turned to her teammate for support. And she's going to compete in July!
In more sad news, a horse died during competition -- Kingpin. He was halfway through the cross country when he collapsed after a jump and died quickly. His post mortem suggests that he had a natural rupture of a major artery unrelated to his exertions.
