Harry Meade gör sällsynt fall vid Badminton Horse Trials

Harry Meade föll av Cavalier Crystal under terrängmomentet i Mars Badminton Horse Trials den 9 maj. Incidenten inträffade vid hinder 22ab, men han ligger kvar på en andraplats inför nästa dag med Annaghmore Valoner.

Harry Meade var med om ett ovanligt fall med sin tredje häst för dagen, Cavalier Crystal, under Mars Badminton Horse Trials. Stoet trampade på sig själv vid det vinklade hindret efter den öppna graven i kombinationen på gårdsplanen och dök genom hindret, vilket utlöste säkerhetsmekanismerna och fick ryttaren att falla av. Meade beskrev hästen som sensationell fram till den punkten och noterade ett djupt sår på hennes kota, samtidigt som han hyllade hennes insats för att fullfölja uppgiften.
