World Cup Finals
Rozzie
Ryan's Exellent Out
Bad
fortune for Rozzie Ryan. The Australian based dressage
rider came all the way to Europe for the Final but was
unable to fulfil her task in Den Bosch. Just before
entering the ring for her final Kur to Music, Ryan's
dark bay thoroughbred Exellent stepped into a nail near
the in-gate and immediaitely went lame. Ryan had to
abort her freestyle before even having entered the grand
arena. Exellent was transported to the Utrecht veterinarian
hospital for further examination. Swedish O-judge Eric
Lette still congratulated Ryan for her wonderful performance
during the World Cup Qualifiers and the Final, in which
she only rode the short
Grand Prix.
