British Eventing has released the following statement regarding the death of the horse Cavalor Telstar at Houghton Hall yesterday;
It is with great sadness that we announce that Cavalor Telstar, number 23, owned and ridden by Raf Kooremans, collapsed and died shortly after jumping a good clear cross country round with just a few time penalties in the CICO*** while competing at The Houghton International Horse Trials in Norfolk at approx. 12:10 on 25th May 2013.
The horse was experienced and had been jumping well.
A post mortem will follow. Our condolences go to both Raf and all associated with the Dutch eventing team.
No further details are available at present.
