FEI World Equestrian Games Tryon 2018: Statement on Box Qutie | ||
FEI World Equestrian Games Tryon 2018: Statement on Box Qutie It is with great regret that we confirm that the horse Box Qutie, ridden by Sweden’s Anna Freskgård in the Eventing Championship at the FEI World Equestrian Games™ Tryon 2018, was euthanized this afternoon.
As a result, the horse’s owner, Therese Örup, together with the athlete, groom and veterinarians, elected for euthanasia today. In line with the FEI Veterinary Regulations, a post mortem will be conducted. Samples had already been taken from the horse on cross country day after the injury occurred. Box Qutie had been competing at international level since 2013 and had 34 FEI starts, including a win at the CIC3* in Strzegom (POL) in April of this year, one of 11 top 10 finishes in her career. Anna Freskgård rode the mare as an individual for Sweden at the FEI European Eventing Championships 2017 in Strzegom.
