I was glad to hear that a new committee is being formed to look into horse and
rider safety. This is getting ridiculous in my opinion. They are trying to
make the courses more difficult to make it more challenging, but the horses are
suffering. Cynthia

the falls.....but 2 horses died at Rolex due to falls on cross country
this year. Frodo Baggins from a skull fracture and The Quiet Man from a
fractured shoulder. Two horrific "rotational" falls [PC word for
somersaulting I
suppose]. a friend was at the fence where The Quiet Man fell, & it was bad.
Frodo was
worse. His rider is still in the hospital, also in bad shape.
