Bailey Wick Euthanized at Jersey Fresh
It is with great sadness that we report that Acorn Hill Farm's Bailey Wick was euthanized after a fall on the cross-country course with Phillip Dutton last Saturday, May 9, at the Jersey Fresh CCI3* in Allentown, NJ. A necropsy was not performed, at the owners’ request.
The fall occurred at Fence 20, an oxer, and Dutton was unhurt in the incident and rode his other two mounts later in the day.
The 10-year-old, chestnut Irish Sport Horse gelding (Pallas Digion—Northern Axis) had several top placings at the Advanced level, placing 10th with Dutton at the 2008 Fair Hill CCI3*, and taking fifth in last August's CIC3* at Richland Park (MI) and second in the CIC3* at Plantation Field (PA) in September.
The USEA extends our deepest condolences to Bailey Wick's owners, riders, supporters, and grooms, as well as the entire Dutton eventing team on the loss of this great horse.
