Chauncy: 2002-2010
It is with deepest regret that we announce that "Chauncy," horse number 63 ridden by Suzy Elliott, collapsed while competing in the Advanced division at The Event at Rebecca Farm, Kalispell, MT, USA on Saturday, July 24, 2010. Suzy Elliott is from Yelm, WA.
Elliott was riding Chauncy, an 8-year-old Thoroughbred gelding owned by her husband, Jonathan Elliott.
Chauncy collapsed following a second run out at fence 16A. Elliott had dismounted before Chauncy collapsed. There was a full paramedic and veterinary team present within moments after the collapse. Chauncy was taken to LaSalle Veterinary Hospital, Kalispell, MT, for a necropsy. The necropsy revealed a cardiac hemorrhage.
The organizers and officials of The Event at Rebecca Farm would like to extend their deepest sympathy to the Elliott Family and Aspen Farm.
