Olympia World Cup

I saw the Showjumping World Cup qualifying event at Olympia at Xmas, There were lots of very nice horses which looked exceptionally well bred and jumped with great style and scope.

The horse that stood out for me was Corlato which finished fourth. The commentators said that the horse had just returned from injury. When I looked into this, I found out the horse had been injured in June when a car had driven into the stationary horse lorry. The horse had to be cut free from the metal partition and fractured its leg. It had not been expected to return to competition until 2007.
