The 13-year-old gelding had completed the Cross Country course clear with 26.4 time penalties to go into 25th place. The rider had just dismounted and shortly afterwards the horse tragically collapsed and died. As per FEI Veterinary Regulations, a post mortem will be carried out to establish the cause of death. Yves Rossier (CAN), the Foreign Veterinary Delegate, reported that all other horses finished the course in good condition.
