Harrison Euthanized After Retiring on Cross-Country at Aspen Farms H.T.
Yelm, Washington - It is with great sadness that we report that Harrison, ridden and owned by Amy Evans, was humanly euthanized after retiring on the Preliminary cross-country course at Aspen Farm Horse Trials on Sunday, June 12, 2016.
Harrison, a 13-year-old chestnut Thoroughbred gelding, retired on course after fence 11, and was transported to stabling for further evaluation. Upon examination by the veterinary team, Harrison was diagnosed with a broken right foreleg and was humanely euthanized.
The USEA along with the organizers and officials of Aspen Farm Horse Trials would like to extend their deepest sympathies to the Evans family and all of Harrison's connections.
