Equine Fatality at Carolina International CCI & H.T.
The Setters’ Run Farm Carolina International and the Carolina Horse Park (Raeford, NC) are deeply saddened to announce that Heathcliff, a 13-year-old Canadian Sport Horse gelding competing in the Novice Rider division, collapsed and died as he and his rider, Angi Bevers, were entering the ring for show jumping the afternoon of Saturday, March 21. Bevers was uninjured during the incident.
Heathcliff was immediately attended to by a competition veterinarian who was nearby, but unfortunately the horse passed away quickly after collapsing.
The horse will be transported to Rollins Lab in Raleigh, NC, where a necropsy will be performed to determine the full cause of death.
The Carolina Horse Park and the USEA extend our deepest sympathies to Angi Bevers and her family.
