“The horse sustained some bruising to his ribs and chest during the fall. He has been under observation at the Olymic Venue Veterinary Clinic during the night and this morning was comfortable, ” he said.

“He is moving to another veterinary clinic off site today for a few more days of observation just to make absolutely sure that he’s fine.”
