“In our sport everything imaginable is done for the safety of riders and horses”, said the German national trainer Otto Becker. “Unfortunately, not every accident can be prevented.” The worst thing for every rider is to lose his horse in such an accident. “My condolences go to the rider and the owner of the horse,” said Becker.
